The vehicles involved are 1994-97 Chevrolet C/K and GMC Sierra pickups and Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban/GMC Yukon and Suburban SUVs; 1995-97 Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari vans and Chevrolet/GMC full-size crew cabs; and 1996-97 Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy SUVs and Chevrolet S10, GMC Sierra and Isuzu Hombre small pickups.
According to AP, GM said there have been no fatal injuries because of the faulty wipers. The latest recall is an extension of a screen wiper replacement programme GM conducted in 1998 and earlier this year.
Model year 1994-96 trucks that were repaired in a 1998 recall and 1994-97 trucks and vans repaired in a programme conducted earlier this year are excluded from the recall, AP said.
AP said that owners of the affected vehicles will be notified beginning this summer. Dealers will replace windscreen wiper circuit boards and motor covers at no cost to the customer.
