The static electricity buildup can affect the control module for the windshield wipers, potentially rendering the wipers inoperative. Jeep says that the fix calls for dealers to install a ground strap to the modules to "eliminate the potential for static buildup." Customers will be instructed to visit their dealers for ground-strap installation, which will be performed at no cost.
