General Motors will recall about 636,000 2002 and 2003 midsize SUVs. Some of the following vehicles will be recalled:
- Some 2002 and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT
- Some 2002 and 2003 GMC Envoy and Envoy XL
- Some 2002 and 2003 Oldsmobile Bravadas
- Some 2002 Isuzu Ascenders
Owners will be notified beginning in the third quarter of 2004.
Dealers will cover a vent hole in the windshield wiper module with a patch. The wiper motor, circuit board, and electrical connector will be inspected for signs of water intrusion and/or corrosion and be replaced as required.
In some vehicles, water can enter the wiper module, causing a short circuit or corrosion of the components within the module. As a result, there have been reports of the wipers not working properly. Owners should have their vehicles checked and serviced if they are experiencing windshield wiper problems. GM says that most owners will probably not experience any wiper problems, and should wait for the recall notification letter before bringing in their vehicles.
