My issue is that my VIN is not listed in the recall...NHTSA campaign id number 98V150001. My truck is the exact same year and model and is experiencing the identical issue as the stated recall of mfg. Campaign # of 98043 or NHTSA campaign id of 98V150001. Can I get my VIN added to the list so I can get this corrected. Don't understand why my truck would not be included in the recall when it is the same year, model, and problem as the recall. Thanks for your time.

Recall 98V0150001/windshield wiper wiring: Vehicle experiencing problem with windshield wipers to work intermittently, this condition can result in inoperative wipers, reducing driver's visibility and increasing risk of a vehicle crash. Dealer notified and informed consumer that this vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN.
Dear sirs, my problem actually began a couple of years ago, although it only happened once while we were on a trip, it happened again about 6 months later, lately the problem has become more frequent, as this only happens during a rain, it makes driving dangerous and sometimes impossible, my windshield wiper problem was addressed by my dealership and I was told that the problem was the circuit board, I was informed that this very problem was addressed in a recall ( #98043), but after checking my serial #, I was told my truck wasn't covered, this doesn't make sense, how can a recall be issued for a specific problem to a vehicle and be associated with one series of serial #, and yet the same problem shows up on other serial # of the same make & model, sounds like someone needs to widen the scope as to the coverage on this one? NHTSA campaign id number: 98V150001 thanks, respectfully yours, danny a. devore.
