Visibility: windshield wiper/washer: linkages

What is wrong: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with dana/sprague windshield wiper assemblies. The knurled pivot shaft (which operates the windshield wiper arm) is welded to a lever, which connects to linkage from the wiper motor. The weld at the pivot shaft to lever can fail.
Risk: Should a failure occur during inclement weather on the driver's side while the vehicle is in motion, the operator's vision would be partially obscured.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the wiper system, conducting a "stall" test to validate the integrity of the weld. All wiper assemblies failing this test will be replaced.
