What's wrong?
The front windshield wiper motor on affected 2023-2024 Ford Bronco Sport, Maverick, and Mustang Mach E vehicles is the small electric motor that drives the wiper arms across the glass. When it works correctly, it moves the wipers at the selected speed so the driver can clear rain, spray, and debris from the windshield.
On these vehicles, the motor assembly was built without the correct sealer. That missing seal lets water get into the motor housing. Once water reaches the electrical parts inside, the motor can stop working and the wiper arms no longer sweep the windshield. The replacement motors use correctly applied sealer to keep water out.
Ford lists no warning sign before failure. The wipers can work normally on one drive and then stop when the motor becomes inoperative, so loss of wiping can happen without a dashboard message or a gradual change in wiper speed.

What's the safety risk?
Failed windshield wipers reduce visibility in rain, snow, or road spray, increasing the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure. If the wipers stop working or move incorrectly, avoid wet weather driving and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.

- Bring any Ford recall notice to the appointment, or reference recall number 24V594 and Ford recall 24S51 when you call.
- Avoid driving in rain, snow, or other low-visibility conditions until the wiper motor has been inspected and repaired.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician inspects the front windshield wiper motor. If the motor does not pass inspection, the technician replaces it. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered at a Ford dealer now. If you already paid out of pocket for this wiper motor repair before the recall notice, Ford's standard reimbursement plan covers eligible documented expenses.
