My wife recently received a recall notice 98043-S on her 1996 Chevy S10 Blazer to repair the windshield wiper motor circuit board and cover. The recall letter listed certain 1995-96 S10 pickups also. I notified Chevrolet customer service, that my vehicle is experiencing the same problem as mentioned in the recall notice my wife received. Chevrolet customer service stated that my vehicle is not covered under the recall, and Chevy will not financially pay for the repairs. I spoke with a service advisor at a local Chevrolet dealer in elk grove. She stated that several Chevrolet trucks (S10 and full size), owners have brought their vehicles to their service department for the same problem, and these vehicles were not covered under the recall. These vehicles mentioned are the same year and model, but are not covered under the recall, checked by VIN. I am concerned that the recall notice that was released is not covering all the vehicles that have this problem also. Chevrolet customer service file # 990084790. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

The consumer has been experiencing problems with windshield wipers. Windshield wipers work intermittently. The manufacturer has yet to be contacted. This complies with recall number 98.
When starting the windshield washer, the wipers moved to the middle of the windshield and stopped. The washer sprayed and would not stop. I rolled the side window down inorder to see and managed to get to the side of the road. After several attempts the wipers and washer finally shut off. Upon returning to town, I went to the dealer and was told that their was a recall for this problem and was given an appointment for the next morning. When I returned to pick up my truck, I was told that I would have to pay for the repair as the computer indicated that my VIN number was not covered by the recall even though the part that was replaced is the same part in the recall. I was told that my truck was made in a different plant than the vehicles being recalled. I called you complained and then wrote a letter to General Motors. As of this date,11-5-98, I have not heard from GM. I have the old part in my possion and feel I should be refunded my money for this repair under the recall.
