The windshield wiper may over-travel its designed sweep angle during its initial stroke with the possibility of temporary wiper immobilization.

Some of the vehicles may have manganese bronze spring clip plates used as a substitute for malleable iron. The substitute clips, which are used to attach the suspension spring to the rear axle, may crack allowing the assembly to loosen. This can cause rear axle displacement.
