Manufacturer : FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Manufacturer’s Report Number : 05S40
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 05V520000
Mfg's Report Date : NOV 07, 2005
Component: VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
Potential Number Of Units Affected :199942
Summary: On certain trucks, passenger cars and sport utility vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may have been produced without grease being applied to the output shaft gear.
Consequence: After a period of continuous use on the high speed setting, lack of grease on the output shaft gear may cause the gear to distort or fracture during operation resulting in a loss of wiper function. Inoperative wipers under inclement weather conditions could cause a crash due to impaired visibility.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the wiper motor for the presence of grease and grease the wiper motor gears if necessary. The recall is expected to begin on November 21, 2005. Owners should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or Lincoln/mercury at 1-800-521-4140.
Notes: Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safecar.gov.
