The way it was explained to me was; if your wiper blades rest horizontal while parked, your motor is ok. If your wipers droop down onto the body while parked or if during operation, they flop over like in my picture, then the gears on the motor are worn. These worn gears allow the wiper arms to flop and over travel. Another contributing factor is the curvature of the windshield and the wiper traveling over that curved portion.
Not sure if this problem is related to the nuts not being tightened properly or if it is a separate issue that has come up. I know this wiper issue has the potential to be a very dangerous problem, like I stated in my earlier post, I’m glad I use rainx, it helped in my situation.
I’m thinking Thor and the NTSB realize this must be a big deal if they are directing a second recall. I’m currently on the road with work, so I can’t post the recall notice, I’m sure someone will post it here shortly.
