2012–2013 Spartan Gladiator Recall

Issued December 19, 2012
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the outside diameter of the windshield wiper pivot shaft is smaller than the inside diameter of the wiper arm. As a result, the wiper pivot shaft could spin in the wiper arm, rendering the windshield wipers inoperable. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the windshield wiper shaft assembly.
