VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES
Windshield wiper failure can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
15 safety recall campaigns, 76 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.

Windshield wiper failure can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

A frozen or missing rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

An incorrect rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Two 2023 FORD F-250 SDs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
