A week ago GM Authority told you about the Holden Commodore that was being recalled for an issue with the wiper motor. Now it is confirmed that the Chevrolet SS and its Caprice PPV brother have been affected.
The problem: A potentially faulty windshield wiper module assembly that “[i]f the motor gear teeth become stripped, the wipers may not operate,” announced General Motors in a statement. The automaker said it is not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the recall.
Number of vehicles affected: 4,794 units of the 2014 Chevrolet SS and Caprice PPV police car.
The fix: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has yet to release information regarding the recall on its site at this time. In Australia, the affected models required a simple wiper motor replacement—an hour-long process. For American owners of these cars, the best thing is to call the below number of contact your local dealership.

Well seeing as though they come out of the same factory as the Commodore, and are in fact US versions of the Commodore SS and Caprice, you could pretty much correctly assume that it’ll be the same part, and that the same fix would be what’s going to take place.
