WATER COULD ENTER AND DISPLACE THE GREASE IN THE WIPER ARM LINKAGE BALL JOINT WHERE THE WIPER LINKAGE ATTACHES TO THE WIPER MOTOR LINKAGE. THIS COULD RESULT IN GRADUAL WEAR INSIDE THE JOINT THAT COULD LEAD TO THE SEPARATION OF THE WIPER LINKAGE ASSEMBLY FROM THE WIPER MOTOR LINKAGE AT THE BALL JOINT. THIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF WINDSHIELD WIPER FUNCTION. CORRECTION: A WATER DIVERSION SHIELD WILL BE ADDED TO THE WIPER LINKAGE BALL JOINT AREA. ALSO, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WIPER PIVOT AND TWO WIPER LINKS WILL BE REPLACED WITH NEW ONES.
WHEN THE THROTTLE POSITION REMAINS UNCHANGED WHEN DRIVING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AT LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, MOISTURE MAY CONDENSE IN THE THROTTLE CHAMBER AND FREEZE. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE THROTTLE BEING KEPT OPEN AND THE ENGINE NOT RETURNING TO IDLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE BRAKING. CORRECTION: A MODIFIED THROTTLE CHAMBER GASKET, WHICH HAS A COUNTERMEASURE SLEEVE, AND A MODIFIED ECM, WHICH CONTROLS EGR OPERATION UNDER LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, WILL BE INSTALLED IF NECESSARY.
