1994: “The contact owns a 1994 Gmc K15. The contact stated that the windshield wipers fail to work properly. The wipers do not operate as they should, but rather intermittently. The contact believes that the circuit board was the cause of the failure. He discovered a recall that listed an identical failure; however, the dealer stated that his VIN was not included in the recall. The contact feels that this is a safety issue because the windshield wipers could stop working and reduce visibility. The vehicle has not been inspected. …”
