Recall 12176: Windshield Wiper Fluid Hose Fix

[thebook92]

I received a letter today stating that my vehicle has been recalled because "The windshield washer hose on your vehicle may separate from the washer fluid reservoir, and if this occurs, washer fluid will not be available to clean the windshield. This could impede the driver's view and a crash could occur." I'm not sure how many vehicles are impacted, and I'll find out more when I go to the dealer to get mine fixed.

There is already a thread on the problem, recall included.

Fixed the issue yourself?

Has anybody tackled to make the repair at home? I looked under the car and can't even begin to see the bottom of the washer fluid tank. Just wanted to hear some insight from those that have made the repair. Thanks!

The tank is hidden behind the driver's side front inner fender

There have been threads in the past that gave a how to do it yourself; but unless a dealer signs off on the recall, you will see a never ending stream of recall notices in your mail box. I have one Sonic yet to have the recall completed, and have received numerous notices.

My wiper fluid hose just separated from the T fitting under the hood insulation. I used a small zip tie to secure it better.
