What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Chevrolet Sonic vehicles manufactured between May 5, 2011, and February 24, 2012. These vehicles have a windshield washer hose that may separate from the washer fluid reservoir, which would prevent washer fluid from reaching the windshield. Without washer fluid available, the driver's view could be impeded, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM will notify owners of the recall, and dealers will secure the windshield washer hose to prevent separation at no charge. The recall began on September 7, 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact the Chevrolet owner center at 1-866-694-6546.
