Issued by General Motors LLC · Reported Jun 27, 2014 · 4,794 vehicles affected
What's wrong

In the affected vehicles, the windshield wiper motor gear teeth may strip causing the windshield wipers to become inoperative.

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.
