Defect	In the lever used in the front wiper linkage, due to improper manufacturing, the uneven processing applied to the shaft of the mounting part was worn during assembly. As a result, a slight gap forms between the lever and the shaft, and wear progresses each time the shaft rotates, reducing the force that drives the wiper arm. In the worst case, the lever detaches from the shaft, rendering the front wiper inoperable.
Component	Wiper (Front Wiper)
Remedy	For all vehicles, inspect the console for the front wiper system and replace the wiper system linkage if necessary.
