The problem

The risk
A loss of wiper function can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected wiper arms, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2017. Owners may contact Gillig customer service at 1-800-735-1500.
