WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER REPLACEMENT
(RECALL CAMPAIGN 140)

 IMPORTANT
*** Retail Vehicles Only ***
Dealers must perform this recall when an affected vehicle is in the shop for any maintenance or
repair.
When a vehicle arrives at the service department, access Hyundai Motor America’s “Warranty
Vehicle Information” screen via WEBDCS to identify open Campaigns.
Description: The subject vehicles are equipped with a windshield wiper motor which may have been
manufactured with a cover seal that could degrade over time, eventually causing corrosion on the
wiper motor’s printed circuit board. If the corrosion progresses, the windshield wiper motor could
either function intermittently or stop functioning. If the windshield wipers become inoperative during
inclement weather, driver visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

Applicable Vehicles: Certain 2012 Genesis Sedan (BH) and 2011-2013 Equus (VI)
