💥 Crash riskNHTSA 04V046📅 Feb 6, 2004

2002–2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer & 2002–2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT + 3 more recall: windows, wipers & mirrors

⚠️ What's wrong

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.

💥 The risk

Depending on the occurrence and weather situation, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will cover the windshield wiper module vent hole with a patch. Also, the wiper motor, circuit board, and electrical connector will be inspected to signs of water intrusion and/or corrosion and be replaced as required. The recall began july 6, 2004. Owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537; or GMC at 1-866-996-9463.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
