#705320April 6, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN (WIPER MOTOR SOLDER DEFECT) COVERING CHEVROLET/GMC TRUCKS WITH MANUFACTURING DATES FROM 8/94 - 5/96. MY 1995 CHEVROLET TRUCK SILVERADO HAS A MANUFACTURER'S DATE OF 11/94. ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF DATES COVERED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN, MY TRUCK SHOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK HAS EXHIBITED THE INTERMITTENT WIPER FAILURE ON THREE SEPARATE RAINY CONDITIONS. WHEN I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REMEDY OF THIS ISSUE, THEY REJECTED MY REQUEST DUE TO "MY VIN NOT BEING A PART OF THE RECALL GROUP". I PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD DUE TO THE UPCOMING RAINY SEASON AND MY DESIRE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING. I JUST CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS CAMPAIGN WHEN THE MANUFACTURING DATE IS WELL WITHIN RANGE OF THE SPECIFIED PERIOD. PLEASE ADVISE VIA EMAIL AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU MUCH. *AK
