Headlamp Wiper Performance and Reliability
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
RANGE ROVER (LP) Up to VA373249
SITUATION:
HEADLAMP WIPER BLADES DETACH
If the headlamp wiper blade experiences a large side load or resistance during its motion, such as ice accumulation or snow, the blades can separate from the wiper arms and fall off the vehicle. Inadequate retention clip strength is the probable cause.
RESOLUTION:
REPLACE HEADLAMP WIPER BLADE AND RETENTION CLIP
A redesigned wiper blade with an improved retention clip is now available. The new clip will prevent the headlamp wiper blades from separating from the wiper arm when experiencing higher than normal side loads.
NOTE:
The repairs outlined in this TIB are to be performed to resolve customer complaint of the symptoms described.
