Vehicles Affected: Approximately 425,600 vehicles, including model-year 2019-20 Ram 1500 and 1500 Classic pickup trucks produced before March 3, 2020
The Problem: The windshield wiper arm or arms may loosen, possibly causing the wipers to not operate properly and reducing the driver's visibility in certain weather conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will tighten the wiper nuts for free.
