2007 Dodge Nitro recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2007 dodge Nitro passenger vehicles. The windshield wiper system may experience a condition over time where high usage of the variable pause wiper function ("delay" mode) may eventually affect primary wiper function, rendering the wiper system inoperable.
💥 The risk
Inoperative wipers under inclement weather conditions could cause impaired visibility increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and add external relays and update the totally integrated power module software to control the wiper functions. The safety recall is expected to begin during february 2010. Owners may contact chrysler at 1-800-835-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
