NUMBER: 07-91-15
DATE: 06/15/15
| APPLICABILITY: | 2010-12MY Legacy and Outback Models |
| SUBJECT: | Intermittent Wiper Operation with Switch in Off Position |
INTRODUCTION
This bulletin announces a replacement wiper switch assembly to address customer concerns of the wipers not parking correctly or moving intermittently, even when the control switch is off. Testing revealed moisture being retained in a composition of soldering flux and grease used during switch manufacturing may be forced out under extreme high-temperature conditions. If this moisture causes intermittent continuity between terminals, a circuit may close and power the wiper motor. A special sealer has been applied to the soldered terminals of the switch’s printed circuit board during production to prevent this condition from occurring.

The new wiper switch part numbers are 83114AJ04B and 83114AJ05B.
