Certain sport utility vehicles have windshield wiper systems that will not turn on, cease operation while in use, fail to turn off/on by themselves (moisture sensitive wiper system), or have continuous windshield washer pump operation because the presence of water within the wiper modules can either cause a short circuit or can lead to the corrosion of components within the module.

Recall Date:
10/27/2004
Potential Number of Units Affected: 871,473

Consequence Summary:
The loss of one or both of the tail lamp/stop lamps could reduce the vehicle's visibility to following drivers and fail to warm others that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped, which could result in a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Dealers will inspect the tail lamp/stop lamp assemblies, and if necessary, replace them. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438.
