What the notice says to do (the remedy, in its words)
“International Motors, LLC (International) is recalling certain 2027 HV, HX, LT, MV, and RH trucks. A retaining nut in the wiper assembly may loosen, causing both windshield wipers to disconnect from the motor.” “Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.”INTERNATIONAL VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER recall, NHTSA recall record, 2026-08-06. The caption and the remedy steps are the record's own words.
A generic drawing of the kind of part, not the part itself. The failure mark follows the record's verb; the phrases on the right are the record's own words. The test dummy stands for the risk the notice names (“risk of a crash”); it is not a record of something that happened.
If the drawing and the record's words differ, the words govern. A drawing is chosen by rules and an AI reading of the record and can miss what it means; report one with the form below.
