Renault Clio: Wipers May Not Perform As Intended
Renault Clio Windscreen Wiper Recall About 68,552 Renault Clio vehicles are affected by a recall because the front windscreen wiper arms can freeze to the screen in sub-zero weather. When wipers are activated in these conditions, the wiper arm linkage may weaken, bend, or detach, preventing the wipers from clearing the windscreen effectively. Renault will replace the wiper linkage with a more robust design to fix the issue.
