Volvo Windshield Wiper Motor - Genuine Volvo 9171901

Product Information

A windshield wiper motor is an electric motor that powers the movement of the wiper arms and blades across the windshield. Through a series of linkages and gears, it converts electrical energy into mechanical motion, enabling the blades to clear rain, snow, and debris to maintain driver visibility. The motor typically operates at multiple speeds and may also support intermittent wiping and washer functions, making it an essential safety component for driving in adverse weather conditions.

• Wipers fail to operate at all, or stop mid-swipe.
• Sluggish or uneven wiper movement that struggles to clear the windshield.
• Grinding, clicking, or buzzing noises coming from the motor during operation.

About Genuine Volvo

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Volvo logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
