THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY TRUCK STOPPED IN MID-WIPE DURING A RECENT RAIN STORM TWICE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 24, DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THIS MORNING I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST $81.25 TO REPLACE THE WIPER MODULE. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR BUT FEEL THAT IF THEY ARE RECALLING S-10'S FOR THIS REASON THAT MINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ALSO. IT APPEARS THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THE TOTAL PROBLEM, BUT ONLY A PORTION OF THE VEHICLES WITH PROBLEMS. PLEASE ASSIST ME AND OTHER S-10 OWNERS THAT THIS EFFECTS.

MY WIFE RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 98043-S ON HER 1996 CHEVY S10 BLAZER TO REPAIR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. THE RECALL LETTER LISTED CERTAIN 1995-96 S10 PICKUPS ALSO. I NOTIFIED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, THAT MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL NOTICE MY WIFE RECEIVED. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AND CHEVY WILL NOT FINANCIALLY PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I SPOKE WITH A SERVICE ADVISOR AT A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN ELK GROVE. SHE STATED THAT SEVERAL CHEVROLET TRUCKS (S10 AND FULL SIZE), OWNERS HAVE BROUGHT THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THESE VEHICLES WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THESE VEHICLES MENTIONED ARE THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, BUT ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL ,CHECKED BY VIN. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE THAT WAS RELEASED IS NOT COVERING ALL THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE FILE # 990084790. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED PRIOR TO RECALL NOTICE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 60/40 FRONT BENCH SEATS AND EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND 2-DOOR UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL LOCKING RECLINER BUCKET SEATS. THE OUTBOARD SAFETY BELT WEBBING ON THE DRIVER'S AND/OR PASSENGER'S SEAT CAN SEPARATE DURING A FRONTAL IMPACT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A SEPARATION OCCURRED AND THERE WERE SECONDARY CRASH EVENTS OR VEHICLE ROLLOVER, THERE WOULD BE NO BELT RESTRAINT OF THE OCCUPANT AND INCREASED INJURIES COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE RECLINER MECHANISM.
THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT LOOSENS AT THE STEERING SHAFT TO STEERING GEAR COUPLING. WITH THIS LOOSENESS, THE YOKE PINCH BOLT CAN WEAR ON THE SPLINES OF THE SHAFT UNTIL THERE IS NO LONGER AN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE SPLINES AND THE BOLT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE BODY TO CHASSIS MOVEMENT ALLOWING THE STEERING SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR WHICH CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RETORQUE THE UPPER AND LOWER BOLTS TO CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS.
FAN BLADE RIVET BREAKAGE CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE FAN BLADE TO SEPARATE FROM THE SPIDER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE HOOD WAS OPEN, A PERSON WORKING UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE STRUCK BY THE FAN BLADE AND INJURED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE, IF NECESSARY, THE FAN WITH A NEWER FAN HAVING THICKER-HEADED RIVETS.
