What happened

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2012 Genesis vehicles manufactured between August 1, 2011, and April 30, 2012, and 2011-2013 Equus vehicles manufactured between July 10, 2011, and June 12, 2012. The windshield wiper motor cover seal on these vehicles may degrade over time, allowing corrosion to form on the wiper motor's circuit board. This corrosion can cause the wipers to stop working intermittently or completely, which reduces driver visibility during rain or snow and increases the risk of a crash.

Hyundai will notify owners of the recall, which began on April 22, 2016. Dealers will replace the wiper motor cover and seal at no cost to the owner. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151 to schedule service. Hyundai's reference number for this recall is 140.
