What this recall means for you
Certain 2019-2020 heavy-duty pickups and cab chassis trucks may have windshield wiper arms that loosen over time. When the arms loosen, the wipers may not work properly, which can reduce the driver's view through the windshield in some weather conditions.
Reduced visibility raises the risk of a crash. If your wipers move unevenly, shift position, or seem loose on the windshield, have the vehicle checked promptly.
The repair is free at an authorized dealer, where the wiper nuts will be tightened. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls, and you can contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 for more information.
