2012 FORD TRANSIT CONNECT
1 recalls, 35 complaints - 27 TSBs - 2/5 safety rating
12V374000 Aug 2, 2012
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
Defect Description
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Transit Connect vehicles. The wiper arms may not be adequately riveted resulting in incomplete or inconsistent clearing of the windshield and possible detachment of the wiper arm.
Consequence
If the wiper arm detaches, the windshield wiper will fail and the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver and passenger side wiper arm and blade assemblies, free of charge. The safety recall began on August 15, 2012. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
