Tightening the nut on the wiper linkage keeps the windshield clean.
Chevrolet is recalling 2011 model Colorado Pickup trucks because the windshield wipers can fail. GMC Canyon pickups are also affected by the recall that is caused by a loose nut in the wiper linkage.
When the wipers are operated with a build-up of snow or ice, or if the wipers are operated on a dry windshield, the nut could http://orthocentre.com.au/cialis-online/ loosen. Eventually the windshield wipers could fail to operate.
Dealers will tighten the nut to specification. This safety recall is now underway.
Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463 or www.gmownercenter.com about safety recall 11095. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
