What's wrong?
The windshield wiper motor on the 2020-2021 Hyundai Palisade powers the wiper arms across the glass. The driver-side wiper arm sits near the cowl, the panel at the base of the windshield, and it has to move freely so the blades clear rain, slush, and snow from the driver's view.
On affected Palisades, snow or ice can pack between the driver-side wiper arm and the cowl. That buildup restricts the arm and activates a circuit breaker inside the wiper motor, which is a protective switch that stops the motor when it is overloaded. When that happens, the wipers stop working until the breaker resets or the windshield area is cleared.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the wipers stopping during use, especially after snow or ice has built up near the base of the windshield.

What's the safety risk?
Windshield wiper failure reduces visibility in rain or road spray and increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so pull over when safe if the driver-side wiper stops working and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Hyundai dealer.
