Ford to Recall Nearly 605,000 Vehicles in US over Windshield Wiper Issue, NHTSA Says

Ford is recalling over 615,000 U.S. vehicles for wiper motor and driveshaft defects; only about 1% of affected vehicles are estimated to have the windshield wiper issue, NHTSA said.

  • Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2020, 2021, and 2022 Explorers, Escapes, Lincoln Aviators, and Lincoln Corsairs due to a potential windshield wiper motor failure that could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
  • The recall affects 604,533 vehicles in the U.S., and dealers will inspect and replace the front wiper motors for free.
  • Ford initially investigated the issue in June 2021 but closed the case, deeming it not a safety risk, before reopening it in November 2025 after receiving more claims.
