Ford is recalling 422,613 vehicles due to faulty windshield wiper arms. The following vehicles are affected:
- 2021-2023 Ford Expedition
- 2022-2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty
- 2022-2023 Ford F-350 Super Duty
- 2022-2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty
- 2022-2023 Ford F-550 Super Duty
- 2022-2023 Ford F-600 Super Duty
- 2021-2023 Lincoln Navigator
The company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that “the windshield wiper arm’s latch retention plate may have been incorrectly staked at the supplier.”
This issue can cause the windshield wiper arm to move at an “erratic wipe speed” or completely detach from the vehicle. During an incident, the driver might have reduced visibility, or if the wiper arm detaches, it could lead to an accident.
Ford is not aware of any injuries or accidents related to this issue.
To remedy the issue, dealers will inspect affected vehicles and correctly stake the latch retention plate and wiper arm splines according to specification.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by mail beginning April 13, 2026.
