What is being recalled
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Chevrolet Caprice vehicles manufactured June 7, 2013, to May 29, 2014, and 2014 Chevrolet SS vehicles manufactured September 13, 2013, to March 4, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the windshield wiper motor gear teeth may strip causing the windshield wipers to become inoperative.
Why it is dangerous
Inoperative wipers will not clear rain or snow, reducing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiper module assembly and replace any affected ones, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14295.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 14V-375 when calling a dealer.
