Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE VIN EXCLUDED IT FROM SAFETY RECALL TSB 98043. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEM I EXPERIENCED WAS EXACTLY THE SAME FAULT AS IDENTIFY IN TSB 98043. THE REPAIR WAS THE SAME. I BELIEVE A FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY WAS INSTALLED IN MY TRUCK AT THE FACTORY. I BELIEVE THE SCOPE OF SAFETY RECALL WAS TOO NARROW AS MY AND OTHER VEHICLES YET IDENTIFIED HAVE DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARDS IN THEIR WINDSHIELD WIPER ASSEMBLY. HAVING YOUR WINDSHILD WIPERS STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A THUNDERSTORM IS STRESSFUL AND COULD BE DEADLY.*AK
