This has been such a headache for me. I'm glad Ford finally stepped up!

Safety Risk AN INOPERATIVE WIPER MOTOR HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR REDUCED VISIBILITY OR LOSS OF VISIBILITY IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

I just received a Carfax alert about this recall, so far my wiper motor has been working well.

I believe this recall was only for the ICE F-150s, it was a fix prior to me trading mine in. I’d be surprised if Ford didn’t include the fix on all 22 Lightning’s.

The Lightning is included. Some owners have already received the notification.

If you want to know if you are on the recall list and haven't received mail from Ford, just log in and check your account on the website - it shows up there.

I thought this was affecting the new '23 builds where there is a stop delivery order hold ?

But the build dates are from 2021 thru August 2022 ?

The Ford memo is confusing!

Well mine should be in this group too ?

I see in my USPS informed delivery notifications that a recall notice is arriving in my mailbox today, build week 6/6.

Yeah when I dropped off my Lightning yesterday for the keypad replacement they also put In the fix for the recall. But there is no fix right now.

None, but they noted it that it needs replacement parts
Will they hold your truck until the part arrives ?

DId you get the Ford recall letter like @TaxmanHog received ?
