Honda has announced a recall involving 353,000 Accords. The recall — which impacts the 2003 model year Accord — is due to a possible corrosion threat in the vehicle’s windshield wiper system. The defect could allow water to enter the area around the windshield wiper motor, leading to corrosion and the possible failure of the motor.
If corrosion of the motor does occur, a circuit breaker inside the motor could trip, preventing the windshield wipers from operating.
Honda dealers will inspect the vehicles for such corrosion. If no corrosion is found, dealers will simply add another protective cover to the potentially defective area, but if corrosion is found, the entire motor will have to be replaced.
No injuries or accidents have been linked to the defect, according to the car manufacturer.
