Ford to Recall Nearly 605,000 Vehicles in US Over Windshield Wiper Issue

Ford is set to recall nearly 605,000 vehicles in the US due to a windshield wiper issue, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The recall affects certain model years of the Ford F-150, F-250, and F-350 trucks, as well as the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs.

The issue is related to the windshield wiper motor, which can cause the wipers to stop working or become stuck in place. This can lead to reduced visibility while driving, increasing the risk of accidents.

The recall is expected to begin on March 15, 2026, and owners will be notified by mail. In the meantime, Ford recommends that owners use their windshield wipers with caution and avoid driving in heavy rain or snow.

The NHTSA has classified this recall as a 'high-priority' issue, meaning that it poses a significant risk to public safety. Ford has stated that it is committed to ensuring the safety and reliability of its vehicles and is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
