1998 GMC SUBURBAN — Complaint #410335

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES filed June 2, 2003

NHTSA complaint #410335 (ODI reference 10022028) concerns a 1998 GMC SUBURBAN and was filed on June 2, 2003. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 2, 2003. The report was geocoded to Indiana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:rear window wiper/washer:linkages, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC SUBURBAN cohort independently describe similar visibility:rear window wiper/washer:linkages failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1998 GMC SUBURBAN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
