Some additional details from the NHTSA report.
https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2026/RCLRPT-26V418-2570.pdf
Manufacturer Name: Ford Motor Company
Submission Date: Jun 30, 2026
NHTSA Recall No.: 26V418
Manufacturer Recall No.: 26C32
Total number of potentially involved: 67,842
Estimated percentage with defect: 0.4%
"In cold temperatures of 0 degrees Celsius or less, the vehicleās wiper motor may lose Local Interconnect Network (LIN) communication with the vehicleās steering column control module. As a result of this communication loss, customers may experience front windshield wipers that only operate at their high-speed setting and an inoperable windshield washing system in these cold temperatures."
"The supplier of a semiconductor chip on the wiper motorās printed circuit board assembly erroneously used a 32-kilobyte programming equipment setting for the 16-kilobyte chip to be programmed with a mismatched 32-kiloybte algorithm. This erroneous equipment setting may result in the LIN communication issue at cold temperatures."
"Wiper motors that fail the inspection will be replaced with wiper motors containing a semi-conductor chip with a properly configured TRIM value."
"On January 15, 2026, Fordās Flat Rock Assembly Plant (FRAP) Supplier Technical Assistance (STA) resident team identified a report of a 2026 model year Mustang vehicle in the field experiencing a condition in which the front windshield wipers operated only at the high-speed setting."
