WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR QUIT ALTOGETHER. THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE WIPER CONTROL HAS TO BE REPLACED. MANY OF THESE PU TRUCKS AND SUV'S HAVE A RECALL, BUT NOT THE OLDER UNITS.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1994 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 EXTENDED CAB TRUCK. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND HAVE FOR SOME TIME. I COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A RAIN STORM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY DECIDE TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF A RECALL FOR 1994 CHEVY TRUCKS ( NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 03V159000 ). I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. APPARENTLY THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE ENOUGH VEHICLES BECAUSE MINE IS ACTING IN A SIMILAR MANNER. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *JB
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN MODEL-ENGINE COMBINATIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR DURING BAD WEATHER, DRIVER VISIBILITY WOULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 19, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537.
