Over the next two months, an even higher number was reported in the United States, which then also prompted a recall.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GM recalled a total of 15,611 vehicles in Canada from the 2010 to 2017 model years, while 367,808 units were affected in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to recall documents filed in Canada, the problem is caused by water and debris intrusion into the windshield wiper assembly ball joints. The intrusion was blamed for excessive wear and eventual detachment of the ball joint from its corresponding socket. This could then limit the driver&rsquo;s visibility and increase the risk of a crash, injury, or damage to property.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GM, however, clarified that the company is installing an improved windshield wiper motor and transmission assembly as well as relocating a drain hole at the base of the windshield.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced it is upgrading an ongoing investigation into 1.7 million General Motors vehicles over&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/nhtsa-upgrades-probe-on-1-7-million-gm-vehicles\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[229,228],"ppma_author":[2607],"class_list":{"0":"post-6257","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-chevrolet-equinox","9":"tag-gmc-terrain","10":"entry"},"acf":{"adrotate_specific_mobile_ad":"","adrotate_specific_desktop_ad":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NHTSA Upgrades Probe on 1.7 Million GM Vehicles - In The Garage with CarParts.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The NHTSA is widening the scope of its investigation on General Motors with regard to a 2016 recall involving 1.7 million vehicles.
