This part has been recalled.GM notice C97005. The recall fixed was completed in April 1999. The wipers failed again and I took the vehicle to the dealership for replacement. I was told they only fix a recall issue once. I then called Chevy assistance and was told the same thing. This repair ws in excess of $300. If not fixed the wipers are in my direct driving vision so I had the dealership make the repair. As stated in the report this is the 5th or 6th time this defect has been repaired. Additionally, I thought recalls are to fix the problem, looks like a bandaid until the vehcile is out of warranty.
