Campaign summary

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2012 Genesis vehicles manufactured August 1, 2011, to April 30, 2012, and 2011-2013 Equus vehicles manufactured July 10, 2011, to June 12, 2012.

The corrosion can cause intermittent or total loss of wiper function.

Consequence

Inoperative wipers during inclement weather can decrease driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
