WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMMITENTLY. MOSTLY RAINING OR WET CONDITIONS. GOING ON TWO YEARS NOW. I SEE THIS RELATES TO RECALL 98V150. HOWEVER, THE GMC DEALER USED MY VIN NUMBER AND DID NOT FIND RECALL APPLICABLE TO THIS. WHY NOT? I KNOW OF MANY OTHERS AND EVEN THE DEALER SAID HE GETS AT LEAST ONE A DAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. HE IS CHARGING $149 TO REPLACE THE WIPER CIRCUIT. OTHERS HAVE GOTTEN THIS COVERED UNDER RECALL. CAN I GET GMC TO COVER THIS?

ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: -98V150001 AND GM TSB NUMBER 98043 THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLES MODEL YEAR TO REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE SOLDER JOINTS. MY TRUCK HAS THIS FAILURE, BUT GMC REFUSES TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE MY VEHICLES VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THEIR RECALL. ACCORDING TO NHTSA THE RECALL COULD AFFECT AS MANY AS 1.5 MILLION VEHICLES, BUT I'VE FOUND REPORTS THAT SAY GM ONLY REPAIRED ABOUT 70,000. I ALSO READ THAT THIS MATTER IS ALREADY UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT THAT REPORT WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. IS THERE A CURRENT INVESTIGATION? CAN YOU OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION?
