What are the defects?
The structure of the front deck of the vehicle allows water intrusion onto the windshield wiper motor, which is drawn into the motor's breather hole as it cools down after use.
This can cause internal parts of the front windshield wiper motor to rust or seize up and the wipers may become inoperative.
