More than 650,000 trucks and SUVs are being recalled due to an issue with the windshield wipers.
According to the NHTSA, the wipers could suddenly stop working, or even detach from the vehicle, causing a possible safety hazard.
Vehicles affected by the recall include: • 2020-2021 Ford F-150 pickup trucks • 2020-2021 Ford Expedition SUVs • 2020-2021 Lincoln Navigator SUVs
• 2020-2022 Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks
The issue was caused by a manufacturing defect that could cause the wiper to detach from the motor. The concern is that the fault could cause the driver to lose sight of the road in bad weather, such as heavy rain, while the detached part could be a hazard for other drivers.
Ford dealers will replace the windshield wiper arms at no cost to the owner, and affected owners who have previously paid for a wiper repair outside of warranty coverage are able to apply for a refund.
There have been no crashes or injuries as a result of the 754 reports of the failures.
Ford will begin contacting owners by mail on May 23. Ford's customer service department can be reached at (866) 436-7332 and reference number 22S26 to discuss the matter with impacted owners.
You can find out if your vehicle is subject to a recall by going to the NHTSA website and entering your vehicle identification number.
