Chrysler Recalls 2008 Jeep Liberty Vehicles for Windshield Wiper Motor Defect

Chrysler is recalling 2008 Jeep Liberty vehicles because excess adhesive in the windshield wiper motor may allow water intrusion, potentially causing the wipers to stop working and reducing driver visibility.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where reduced visibility could result in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler Group LLC is recalling certain model year 2008 Jeep Liberty vehicles. The recall addresses windshield wiper motors that contain excess adhesive, which may allow for water intrusion. This issue could result in intermittent and eventually inoperative windshield wiper operation.

A failing or inoperative windshield wiper system will reduce a driver's visibility, which could result in a crash. The safety recall began on December 1, 2010.

Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor free of charge. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153). Owners may also visit http://www.safercar.gov.
