Vehicles Affected: Approximately 370,000 model-year 2013 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain SUVs
The Problem: The ball joints in the windshield wiper module may corrode and wear over time, possibly resulting in one or both of the windshield wipers becoming inoperative, which could reduce the driver’s visibility and increase the risk of a crash
The Fix: The remedy for this problem was still being developed.
