Windshield wiper motor failed prior to recall notice. Nlm (98v‑150)
I found out after I had to replace the windshield wiper motor because the wipers would only work intermittently and that there had been a recall. I had purchased a motor and installed it myself to save $100 over the cost of a motor from the dealer, not to mention labor. The dealer would only reimburse me $42, which it said was the cost of the circuit board. At the time I had to replace the motor, the circuit board was not available to me. I only think that I should have been reimbursed for my actual expenses which totaled about $70 for a rebuilt motor. (the dealer wanted $170 for a motor).
