LEFT WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING IN THE RAIN. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID THE PIVOT ASSEMBELY WAS BROKEN. TRIED TO ORDER THE PART BUT CHRYSLER SAID IT WAS BACK ORDERED. LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE SAME PART FITS 1991 TO 1994 VANS AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 1993 VANS FOR THE SAME PART AND THIS IS WHY THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED. CHRYSLER CANNOT OBTAIN THE PART AND WILL NOT INCLUDE MY 1994 VAN IN THE RECALL.
