Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “See: NHTSA campaign id numbers: 98v150000 & 98v150001. When I took the truck to the dealer, they said my truck was within the same year as the recalls, but my VIN # was not one of the ones being recalled. They said they would have to charge me to fix it. My truck is doing exactly the same as this recall notice says;windshield wipers and washer work intermittently. Please advise as soon as possible; should I get this fixed on my own and will I be reimbursed? Thanks for your help! Roger jacobson.”
