- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles. The front windshield wiper motor may become inoperative, causing the wipers to fail.
- What it can cause
- Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility in certain conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the front windshield wiper motor, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2023. Remedy parts are expected in the 3rd Quarter of 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22S71. This recall expands previous recall number 22V-142.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 483,082 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 32 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V648000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,576 complaints with NHTSA, 141 of them before this campaign was filed. 100 of those name the visibility, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 37 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V489000 (back over prevention), 26V402000 (power train), 26V104000 (electrical system), 25V729000 (visibility).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on November 15, 2022 as campaign 22V842000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
