Windshield wipers failed while driving in rain, without a serious problem. I had brosz repair look at them and the printed circuit module was bad, so a new replacement was bought and installed. While visiting your website, I see there was a recall on this year and model pickups. I contacted my dealer who says my pickup was not recalled. I think that, as the faulty part s now known to be faulty, chevrolet should re-imburse me for the part($53.43), and the small labor bill($10).
