HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT DOESN'T START TILL FEB. 13, 2015. CAN YOU SHED ANY LIGHT ON THIS , I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHERE I STAND ON TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE TRUCK REAR END WILL LAST THAT LONG. THANK YOU *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS CYCLE RANDOMLY. DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WITH THE WIPERS OPERATING IN THE ON POSITION (NOT THE DELAY SETTING) THEY WILL COMPLETELY STOP OPERATING AND BEGIN AGAIN. CYCLING THE SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION WILL NOT TURN THEM OFF. TURNING THE SWITCH TO THE DELAY POSITION WILL NOT ACTIVATE. ONLY WORKING IN THE ON AND HIGH SETTING, RANDOMLY. ALSO, WHILE STANDING OUTSIDE IF THE TRUCK WITH KEYS IN HAND (VEHICLE ENGINE OFF, NO KEYS IN IGNITION), PUSHED THE REMOTE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND THE WIPERS CYCLED 1 TIME. TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING, NO PERSONS IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN THEY DO OPERATE IN THE ON/LOW SETTING, TURNING THEM OFF WILL RANDOMLY STOP THEM IN DRIVERS LINE OF SIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
