This recall bulletin, minus your assigned VIN listing, is being sent to you at this time in order to take care of those customers who bring their vehicle in
for a malfunctioning windshield wiper motor prior to their notification of this recall.
GM plans to begin notifying owners of this recall in late June 2003. That is when parts are expected to be available in sufficient quantities to support this
recall. A VIN listing will be sent to dealers at that time.
In the meantime, should an owner bring in one of the vehicles listed above because the windshield wiper system exhibits the conditions described in the
"Condition" paragraph contained in this bulletin, check the VIN in GMVIS to determine vehicle eligibility. If the vehicle is eligible, perform service
correction and submit the claim as instructed in this bulletin.
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 1994 Chevrolet CK Pickup, Tahoe, Suburban; 1995
Chevrolet CK Pickup, CK Crew Cab, Tahoe, Suburban, Astro Van; 1996 Chevrolet Blazer, S10 Pickup, CK Pickup, CK Crew Cab. Tahoe, Suburban,
Astro Van; 1997 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, CK Crew Cab, Suburban 4WD, Astro Van; 1994 GMC Sierra Pickup, Yukon, Suburban; 1995 GMC Sierra

1997 GMC Sonoma, Sierra Crew Cab, Suburban 4WD, Safari Van; 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada vehicles. These vehicles may have a condition in which
the windshield wiper motor may fail. 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.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover.
