Summary

CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 104, "WINDSHIELD WIPING AND WASHING SYSTEMS." DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP MOTOR CIRCUIT, THE SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO FUNCTION IS IMPAIRED WHEN IT IS FULL OF FROZEN WATER AND THE PUMP MOTOR SHAFT IS LOCKED OR FROZEN (CANNOT ROTATE).

Consequence

ANY RESULTANT REDUCED VISIBILITY COULD CAUSE A CRASH.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW 10 AMP FUSE IN PLACE OF THE 5 AMP FUSE AND A NEW 10 AMP LABEL WILL BE PLACED OVER THE ORIGINAL 5 AMP DESIGNATION ON THE FUSE PANEL LABEL.
