- Engine / equipment
- Tucson (IV), all engines
- Period mentioned
- 2021–2025
- Symptoms
- When switched off, the front wipers do not go back down: they stop halfway up the glass or in a different place each time. They sweep normally while working.
- Possible cause described
- The nut joining the crank arm (the linkage arm) to the wiper motor shaft works loose and the rest position goes out of adjustment. In the US, Hyundai extended the warranty on that nut to 10 years or 100,000 miles (extension Z08, bulletin 26-BD-007H) for Tucsons built from 2021 to 2025.
- Check for the garage
- Tell the garage that they stop in different places when switched off and ask them to check the tightness of the motor crank arm nut before replacing the wiper motor. The warranty extension is for the US; in Europe, ask the dealer.
