DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 140,000 Focus compact cars because the passenger side
windshield wiper can fail.
Federal
Safety regulators say a seal in the wiper motor wiring may be missing.
Water can get inside and cause the wiper to stop working, increasing the
risk of a crash. Ford Motor Co. says there haven’t been any crashes or
injuries from the problem.
The cars were built from Aug. 1, 2010
through Oct. 18 of last year. Ford dealers will clean and seal the
wiring free of charge and fix any wipers that don’t work. Ford expects
to begin the repairs in late May.
Owners with questions can call Ford at (866) 436-7332.
