VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE THAT A RECALL WAS INSTITUTED FOR THE WINSHIELD WIPER MODULE FOR 1994 SUBURBAN'S. I WASN'T NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I A MODULE FAILURE AS DESCRIBED AND I HAVE A 1994 SUBURBAN. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED PERIOD AND I COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR REPLACING THE MODULE. IS THIS CORRECT? *AK
