Ford Motor Company is recalling 422,613 full-size SUVs and pickup trucks produced from 2021 through 2023 because windshield wiper arm latch retention plates may have been incorrectly staked, potentially causing wiper arms to operate erratically or detach.
The recall covers F-Series Super Duty models, Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles with driver- and passenger-side assemblies FL34-17527-AA and FL34-17526-AB, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists Trico’s Mexican subsidiary as the supplier; Super Duty accounts for 326,239 of the affected vehicles.
Ford began investigating reports in January 2026 and determined the root cause in March 2026, citing incorrect teeth engagement in the head-to-knurl interface that can strip the engagement surface; the company associated 1,533 unique vehicles with warranty, field and customer reports.
Ford says a remedy is under investigation and it is evaluating an inspection process; any wiper arm that fails inspection will be replaced at no charge and known owners and lessees will be notified by first-class mail no later than April 17, 2026.
