Ford Motor Company: 2021-2022 F-150 Trucks Recalled for Windshield Wiper Motor Failure

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 483,082 of its 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles because the front windshield wiper motor can stop working entirely. This failure causes the wipers to stop moving, which can happen unexpectedly during use. Dealers will replace the faulty wiper motors with a new part free of charge to ensure the wipers function correctly in all weather conditions.

Risk

If the windshield wipers fail during rain or snow, the driver's visibility will be significantly reduced. This loss of visibility increases the likelihood of a crash, especially in poor weather or at night.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking if you own a 2021 or 2022 Ford F-150 truck.
  2. Locate your 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and contact a local Ford dealer to schedule a free replacement of the front windshield wiper motor.
  3. You may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 22S71 for more information regarding parts availability and scheduling.
  4. If you have further questions, call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
