VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTORMar 6, 2018· Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Summary

The software for the wiper motor may incorrectly interpret the wiper motor as overheating, limiting the windshield wipers to operating only at the low-speed setting.

Consequence
Limited wiper function can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
