NEW YORK—Toyota is recalling about 421,000 RAV4 vehicles because
of potential corrosion in their windshield wipers that could make
them inoperable.
The vehicles include model years ranging from 2009 to 2012 and
about 2,500 vehicles from model years 2012 to 2014.
The company said Thursday that water dripping onto the
windshield wiper link can cause corrosion over time and wear at the
wiper link joint. This could cause the wiper link to separate from
the wiper motor crank arm in some cases. If separated, the wipers
could become inoperative.
Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc. said owners of vehicles involved in
the recall will be notified by first class mail. The automobile
maker's dealers will replace the water channel, wiper link and
wiper motor crank arm with new ones.
