Defect Involved

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1994-96 Chevrolet and GMC C/K model vehicles, and 1995-96 Chevrolet, GMC, and Oldsmobile S/T model vehicles. These vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the windshield wiper motors may fail after a year or more of vehicle operation. These failures are the result of cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board near the wiring harness connector. Depending on which solder joints crack or the severity of the crack, the windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at all. If this were to occur in a severe weather situation, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.

To prevent the possibility of this condition occurring, dealers are to replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover.
