The problem
GM is recalling 13,358 my 2003 Hummer h2 vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which water can enter the windshield wiper motor module. If a sufficient amount of water enters the module, over time, the front windshield wipers May work intermittently or they May become inoperative.
The risk
If this were to occur, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the windshield wiper module cover, and replace the windshield wiper module cover free of charge. The recall began on November 7, 2008. Owners May contact Hummer at 1-800-732-5493 or through their website at http://www.gmownercenter.com .
