Ford and Lincoln recalled 422,613 SUVs and pickup trucks after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said some vehicles may have been built with defective windshield wiper components that can operate unpredictably or detach.
The recall includes 17,210 Lincoln Navigator and 79,164 Ford Expedition SUVs from 2021–2023, plus 326,239 Ford Super Duty pickups from 2022–2023; NHTSA documents say the wiper arm latch retention plate may be defective, causing erratic speeds or separation.
Ford said it was not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the issue but had received more than 1,500 warranty reports, including 11 field reports; Ford will inspect and replace faulty wiper arms free of charge while a permanent remedy is developed and owner letters are expected April 13–17.
