Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, and Navistar, Inc. recently announced vehicle recalls due to issues with windshield wiper motors, transmission fluid leaks, and damaged wheel hub locking clips.
Ford is recalling approximately 453,650 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles. The front windshield wiper motor may become inoperative, causing the wipers to fail, according to the company. Dealers will replace the front windshield wiper motor, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on January 3, 2023.
Chrysler is recalling approximately 248,342 2020-2023 Ram 2500 and 2020-2022 Ram 3500 vehicles. A build-up of pressure and heat inside the transmission may result in a transmission fluid leak from the dipstick tube. The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 30, 2022.
Navistar is recalling approximately 10 2023 International MV vehicles. The locking clips of the wheel hub retaining nut may have been damaged during installation, which may cause the wheel hub to loosen and separate from the axle housing. Dealers will inspect the hub retaining nuts for damage and replace them, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on January 9, 2023.
