MY 1995 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER, BUT THEY FAILED TO RECOGNIZE IT AS PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS PART OF THE RECALL GROUP. IF IT EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THOSE THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THAT GROUP, MAYBE THE RECALL COVERAGE WAS A LITTLE TOO THIN AND THAT MY TRUCK, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS, SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE, THIS CAMPAIGN COVERS VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 1994 THROUGH MAY 1996. MY TRUCK HAS A MANUFACTURERING DATE OF NOVEMBER 1994, WHICH IS WELL WITHIN THE RANGE. ACCORDING TO CHEVROLET, ONLY THE VIN IS USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER A VEHICLE IS RECALLED OR NOT. IF IN FACT THIS IS THE CASE, THEN NHTSA SHOULD NOT INDICATE THE RANGE OF MANUFACTURING DATES, WHICH IS MISLEADING AND IRRELEVANT. PLEASE RESPOND AT YOUR EARLIEST. *AK

CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN (WIPER MOTOR SOLDER DEFECT) COVERING CHEVROLET/GMC TRUCKS WITH MANUFACTURING DATES FROM 8/94 - 5/96. MY 1995 CHEVROLET TRUCK SILVERADO HAS A MANUFACTURER'S DATE OF 11/94. ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF DATES COVERED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN, MY TRUCK SHOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK HAS EXHIBITED THE INTERMITTENT WIPER FAILURE ON THREE SEPARATE RAINY CONDITIONS. WHEN I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REMEDY OF THIS ISSUE, THEY REJECTED MY REQUEST DUE TO "MY VIN NOT BEING A PART OF THE RECALL GROUP". I PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD DUE TO THE UPCOMING RAINY SEASON AND MY DESIRE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING. I JUST CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS CAMPAIGN WHEN THE MANUFACTURING DATE IS WELL WITHIN RANGE OF THE SPECIFIED PERIOD. PLEASE ADVISE VIA EMAIL AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU MUCH. *AK
