Just wow. I hope it is not really back and that somehow you were mistakenly sent this recall notice

 

[speedracercjr]

Good grief, they STILL don't have parts to fix it

 

[BHunted1]

I had it replaced from the first recall last year. I got a call in to my service rep.
Got to be a mistake....

 

[TexasTruck]

Same component maybe a different issue but... I finally had to use my wipers (yes first time truck saw rain in TX) and wow, whine, wipe, whine, wipe, repeat.

Do any of these wiper motor recalls address this symptom?

Did you ever get the first notice last year and get it replaced?

 

[Blackout150]

Does it say what build dates are affected?

 

[astrand1]

Same just checked ford pass. I have a 22 up to this point wipers working fine lol

 

[Blackout150]

Just looked up ntsa and it shows no recalls for mine but who knows

 

[Je1279]

I think it's legit as a couple folks recently mentioned that they were unable to take delivery of thier new truck due to an outstanding wiper recall.

That's new. Mine is a '21... with a Feb 2021 build date.
It's possible that Ford effed up. I just checked the NHTSA web site and mine shows no recalls as well.

 

[Kanuck]

Mine is an April 14, 2021 build and nothing YET...that could change.

Got an oil change at the dealer on 12/20 and asked my service rep if I was on the recall. He looked it up and said I originally was but then was removed. That was good news! But after reading a couple of threads here about it, I rechecked my ford.com account and the recall popped back up this week. I texted my service rep and he confirmed I'm back on. Not exactly sure how or why that can happen, but whatever. He copied and pasted Ford's latest edict on the matter: "Parts are not yet available to repair all vehicles. Until parts are available to repair all vehicles, dealers may only order parts and repair vehicles with an inoperable wiper motor."

Good luck to us all until summer!
