Ford Recall 2022: Some F-150 Truck Owners Will Need This Safety Repair

Following a recall last month for nearly a quarter of a million Super Duty trucks over faulty driveshafts, Ford (F) is now recalling certain F-150 pickup trucks because the windshield wiper motors could fail, which could increase the risk of a crash in poor weather conditions.

The recall affects over 157,000 2021 F-150 trucks that may have a front windshield wiper motor that could stop working, Ford said.

This could reduce visibility for the driver in certain weather conditions, heightening the potential for an accident to happen.

To repair the issue, Ford dealers will replace the front windshield motor on the affected F-150 trucks at no charge to the vehicle owner.

Truck owners are expected to be notified of the recall beginning on April 18.

Questions about the recall can be directed to Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

As of Thursday at 12:29 p.m. ET, shares of Ford were trading at $16.41, down 17 cents, or 1.03%.
