Component:
Visibility:windshield wiper/washer:motor
Manufactured:
04/15/1998 - 06/01/2001
Affected:
598,256
Defect:
Vehicle description: mini vans. contaminants such as water, salt, and windshield washer solution can enter the wiper motor cover assembly through pinholes on the exterior of the cover that are used in the molding process. in addition, on certain of the vehicles built between february and august 2000, a switch located in the plastic cover of the wiper motor gear case could malfunction and overheat. either of these conditions could potentially result in loss of intermittent wiper function, loss of wiper park function, complete loss of wiper function, smoke, or ignition of the plastic cover material. contaminant entry could also result in unintended wiper motor operation.
Consequence:
Switch malfunction is most likely to occur when the intermittent setting of the wipers is being used, or when snow or ice obstructs the blades from returning to the "parked" position at the bottom of the windshield. loss of visibility while driving increases the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will install a new wiper cover with improved sealing and water resistance. owner notification begain august 27, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-866-436-7332.

Defect:
In some minivans, water and other contaminants (dirt, salt, etc.) can enter into the right rear passenger compartment due to a missing body sealer.
Consequence:
This could cause a short circuit in the electrical connector at the rear wire harness. a short circuit can lead to malfunctions of the rear lighting system, reverse park-aid system, or trailer tow electrical system. a sustained short circuit can result in melted connectors and potentially lead to a fire.
Correction:
dealers will inspect the electrical connector and surrounding area for absence of body sealing and corrosion. if corrosion is present, dealers will service the body gaps, repair corroded connectors, and apply a protective patch to the connector assembly and body hole. if corrosion is not present but the body sealer is missing, dealers will service the body gaps and apply a protective patch to the connector assembly and body hole. owner notification began april 5, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-866-436-7332.
