SUMMARY:
GM is recalling 13,358 M/Y 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.

If this were to occur, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the windshield wiper module cover, and replace the windshield wiper module cover free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during November 2008. Owners may contact Hummer at 1-800-732-5493 or go to mygmlink at http://www.gm.com/recall.
