Stellantis North America (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 508 units of its 2022 Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager (RU) models for windshield wiper arm nuts that may be improperly tightened, which can cause the wipers to not function properly.

An improperly functioning wiper system may, in certain circumstances, lead to a diminution in road visibility which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning. Prior to complete wiper system failure, the driver may experience one or both wiper arms that do not clear the windshield properly, or that the wipers are not in their proper rest positions.
