Chrysler is recalling 84,680 Dodge Nitros from the 2007 model year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

High usage of the windshield wiper system’s delay mode may affect the primary wiper function and render the wiper system inoperable. In inclement weather, this problem would impair visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and add external relays as well as update the totally integrated power module software to control the wiper functions.

For more information, owners can call Chrysler at 800-853-1403 or NHTSA’s hotline at 888-327-4236.
