Defect
The structure of the front deck allows water intrusion onto the windshield wiper motor. Water accumulated around the wiper motor breather hole is drawn into the motor as it cools down after use. As a result, internal parts of the front windshield wiper motor may rust or seize and the wipers may become inoperative.
