2004 ACURA TL Equipment Problems

MY 2004 ACURA TL WAS PARKED DURING AN ICE STORM IN RALEIGH, NC, LAST WEEK. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR AND STARTED IT ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2011, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM THERE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE, BRAKE PADS, AND TO CHECK THE WIPERS THIS MORNING. I LOOKED ON THIS WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL IN 2008 OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL SERVICE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE IN 2008. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG IF THE MOTOR HAS FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS COSTING ME ABOUT $380 AND AM WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO RECOUP THE MONEY FOR THIS REPAIR. IS IT NOT LIKELY THAT...

1. RECALL CAMPAIGN ID# 08V092000 - 2004-2005 ACURA TL (WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR); MANUFACTURER REPORT DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 2008 2. AS PER ACURA, A WIPER MOTOR KIT WAS INSTALLED JUNE 27, 2008 ON MY 2004 ACURA TL. 3. ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2009 MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ACURA CLIENT SERVICES IMMEDIATELY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE ACURA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE "RECALL" WAS COMPLETE. ALTHOUGH, THE WIPER MOTOR KIT WAS INSTALLED (JUNE 27, 2008) AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE WIPER MOTOR KIT DID NOT PREVENT MY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FROM THE CORROSION AS MENTIONED IN THE DEFECT NOTICE, OWNER NOTIFICATION LETTER (PART 577), RECALL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RECALL SUMMARY. THE DEALERSHIP RULED THE REPAIR ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2009 DUE TO "WIPER MOTOR ELECTRICAL FAULT". *TR
