Recall Description:

Certain Palisade (LX2) vehicles are equipped with a windshield wiper motor that could function intermittently and/or become inoperable when impeded by the accumulation of snow and/or ice at the wiper arm.

Customer Talk Tracks:

Sample (customer already at dealership): “Every time you bring your vehicle to our dealership for service we check for open campaigns and recalls. We found that your vehicle has an open recall which requires replacement of the driver’s windshield arm with a revised part. HyundaieBay logo found that certain Palisade vehicles equipped with a windshield wiper motor that could function intermittently and/or become inoperable when impeded by the accumulation of snow or ice at the wiper arm. We will install the revised wiper arm during your visit today which should only add about 20 minutes to your visit.”

Sample (additional background and general practice/care of wipers): “Although the windshield wipers do a great job of clearing your windshield of snow and rain, they have limitations. If possible, it is always a good idea to clear your windshield with an ice scrapper/brush or leaf blower prior to beginning your drive as clearing excess snow using the windshield wipers alone can cause damage to them rendering them inoperable. As an extra measure against wiper arm damage caused by snow and ice accumulation, we are going to install a revised driver’s windshield wiper arm during your visit today.”
