Ford is recalling certain Mustang Mach-E<\/a>, Maverick, and Bronco Sport models over a faulty front wiper motor. The recall impacts certain 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E and Bronco Sport models and 2023-2024 Mavericks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ford issues Mach-E, Bronco, Maverick recall<\/h2>\n

In a letter<\/a> to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported on August 9, 2024, Ford issued a recall for over 37,300 Mach-E, Bronco Sport, and Maverick models.<\/p>\n

Ford began an investigation after reports of windshield wipers failing on Bronco Sport and Maverick models. The company determined water got into the windshield wiper motor, causing it to fail.<\/p>\n

Ford returned the part to the supplier, which found a lack of sealer between the gear cover and gear housing as the root cause.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing records found the incident happened on June 18, 2023, and September 1, 2023. The suspect wiper motors produced in June were assembled into Maverick and Mach-E models, while the units made in September were installed into Bronco Sport and Mavericks.<\/p>\n

Ford said 3,603 Mustang Mach-E, 15,087 Bronco Sport, and 18,681 Maverick models might be equipped with the faulty motor. However, it is estimated that only 5% have this defect.<\/p>\n

As of July 14, 2024, Ford is aware of 81 global warranty reports with confirmed water damage to the wiper motor.<\/p>\n

Ford said 37,371 models are potentially affected. Dealers will inspect and replace the wiper motor free of charge. Owner letters are expected to be mailed out on August 26, 2024.<\/p>\n

Ford has sold nearly 27,000 Mach-E models through the first seven months<\/a> of 2024. A few weeks ago, Ford introduced a new Performance upgrade<\/a> for the Mach-E GT, unlocking a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.3 seconds. That\u2019s faster than the Tesla Model Y Performance at 3.5 seconds.<\/p>\n
