    Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain minivans, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles with certain model-engine combinations, the windshield wiper motor may fail due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board. The windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at all.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    If this were to occur during bad weather, driver visibility would be reduced, which could result in a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover. Owner notification began on june 19, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782, or oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.

    Visibility / Windshield Wiper/Washer

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, 2 and 4-wheel drive. Solder joints near the wiring harness connector can crack causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    Vehicle Speed Control

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    These vehicles were assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat which could bind the throttle. This does not meet with the maximum return times required by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems."
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Consequence of non-compliance: the engine speed may not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there is insufficient clearance, cut out a portion of the dash mat to provide proper clearance.

    Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning label.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    The engine start label will be removed from the stowed side of the sun visor and a new engine start label will be installed on the headliner in the sun visor depression. Owners will receive the new label and can install the label themselves or have a dealer install it.
