Ford is recalling approximately 157,300 model-year 2021 F-150 trucks due to a windshield wiper issue. The front windshield wiper motor may become inoperative, causing the wipers to fail, reducing visibility in certain conditions and increasing the risk of a crash.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on April 18, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 866-436-7332 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.

To resolve the issue, dealers will replace the front windshield wiper motor.

Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
