  • VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR Recall for 2006 Ford Ranger

    • Recall Announced NOVEMBER 09 2005
    • NHTSA Reference #05V520000
    • Number Affected 199,942

    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.
