Known issues on the 1998 200SX. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers certain aftermarket combination headlights, corner, bumper and side marker lamps sold as replacements: lamps missing amber side reflectors leave the vehicle poorly illuminated and can lead to a crash without warning. The second covers the windshield wiper linkage, where water entering the ball joint displaces the grease and causes gradual wear that can separate the wiper linkage from the wiper motor linkage, resulting in a loss of windshield wiper function. Owners have filed 22 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're chasing a wiper linkage that's lost motion or sourcing the correct lamp assembly, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1998 200SX.
