Ford recalls over 422,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to windshield wiper defects risking driver safety.

Ford is recalling 422,613 vehicles in the U.S., including Lincoln Navigator, Ford Expedition, and some F-series trucks from model years 2021-2023, due to a windshield wiper arm defect. The wiper arms may operate erratically or break, impairing driver vision and increasing crash risk. The defect stems from a supplier issue corrected in December 2022. Ford plans to inspect and replace faulty wiper arms, notifying dealers and owners starting April 1, with no accidents reported so far related to this issue.
