What Happened
The part in question is the switch that controls your windshield wipers. It's located in the plastic cover of the wiper motor gear case. In some cases, this switch can malfunction and overheat, causing your wipers to stop working or worse.
Risk if Unfixed
If the switch fails, you could lose visibility while driving, especially in the rain or snow. This increases your risk of a crash, which could be serious.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will inspect the wiper motor and replace the gear case cover if it's affected. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
