Ford · Transit Connect

The pivot pin used to connect the driver and passenger side wiper arms to the wiper arm heads can become loose, causing the wiper arm to lose tension to the windshield and possibly allowing the arm to separate. If a wiper arm separates while driving, a loss of windshield wiper function could occur on that side, possibly reducing visibility and leading to the risk of an accident.
