Campaign 21V-014

Affected vehicles contain windshield washer fluid that was contaminated with brake fluid

Manufacturer: Ford
Filed: January 15, 2021
Component: Visibility and wipers
Vehicles affected: 283
Remedy: Part replacement
Recall type: Vehicle

Defect summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility and 2020 Lincoln Aviator vehicles. The affected vehicles contain windshield washer fluid that was contaminated with brake fluid. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems."

Consequence

A washer system contaminated with brake fluid can reduce the driver's ability to clear windshield, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will flush out the washer system, replacing the washer bottle neck, washer pump assembly, fluid level sensor and the front and rear wiper blades. Dealers will also inspect and repair the vehicle's paint and exterior components if affected, free of charge. The recall began March 2, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21C01.
