Windshield Wipers Recall Campaign Be Aware

[MidwayJ]

Why would they change procedure mid-stream? Seems i recall the last time there was a water issue it was goop first inspect second, or at least that’s what was widely reported.

Different situations call for different procedures. Obviously, Ford was not able to pinpoint exactly which cars need the wiper motor replacement without testing. Why incur the cost of replacing all of them if there's a good chance a significant % will pass the test?

Obviously there was a communication problem in your case. My dealer texted me. Are you sure your text came from Ford? That seems highly unusual.

Yeah, purported to be Ford. 636-498-9341. Said setting up recall appointments for Ford. Maybe not a Ford employee, but contracted by Ford.

1) Wiper parts have no fix or replacement parts until March 2027

2) Wiper motors are reported to act up only in cold weather, so testing in Summer does nothing.

I contemplated calling the dealer and telling them a Star Trek fan on the Internet says their test won't work, but I'm going to keep my appointment. If they can't get the parts until Spring so be it.

I believe the estimated number of vehicles with the defect is 0.4% of the total recall. If memory serves me the recall amount was close to 68,000 +/- . If correct, only 272 +/-unlucky owners will need to return for round two when the parts are available.
