The recalled vehicles will be inspected by the dealers, that will flush out the washer system and replace the windshield washer fluid, washer bottle neck, washer pump assembly, fluid level sensor, and front and rear wiper blades. They will also inspect and repair paint and exterior components, if necessary.

However, the carmaker has said that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.

A recent US auto safety regulatory filing mentioned that Ford will also have o recall 3 million vehicles with potentially defective driver-side Takata air bags. The safety regulator rejected a bid by the US automaker to avoid a recall. The recall will apply to various Ford Ranger, Fusion, Edge, Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKX vehicles as well as Mazda 2007–2009 model year B-Series vehicles designed by Ford.
