Summary
Certain vehicle have jacking instructions which, if followed, may cause the operator to place the jack on a frame weld when attempting to raise a rear wheel. If the vehicle is jacked up with the jack placed on the frame weld and if the wheels are not blocked or chocked, then the jack may yield and the vehicle may drop suddenly with the potential for injury to the operator. Correction: Owners will be provided with a revised Jack Instruction and Stowage Card and Jack Warning Label and a supplement to the owner guide. This information moves the jacking location several inches forward of the frame weld and clearly recommends that the diagonally opposite wheel be blocked.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the windshield wipers may become inoperative under excess load conditions (such as snow, ice or debris) due to insufficient electrical carrying capacity in the wiper control module circuitry. Inoperative windshield wipers may reduce driver visibility during inclement weather and dirty conditions. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the wiper control module with a redesigned module on all affected vehicles.
