NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES filed August 7, 2022

NHTSA complaint #1831669 (ODI reference 11478067) concerns a 2022 FORD F-150 HYBRID and was filed on August 7, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 7, 2022. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:windshield wiper/washer:linkages, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 HYBRID cohort independently describe similar visibility:windshield wiper/washer:linkages failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 FORD F-150 HYBRID shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

Was driving vehicle at approximately 45MPH, selected windshield sprayer to clean bugs off windshield, after a couple of full rotation of the windshield wipers, the passenger side wiper fell off and landed in spot that wipers stay while off. Upon inspection it appears that the affected wiper came apart where a spline disc that is supposed to be attached to wiper assembly, I pulled over and secured the loose parts before they slide off vehicle. The disc was still attached to the shaft that operates the wiper. In addition I found a key that apparently is part of the assembly, appears to have fell out and allowed components to separate. Obviously if this had occurred on highway at speed this could have been a hazard, as loose wiper blade might have departed vehicle and struck another vehicle or person. Not to mention the the loss of use during a rain storm would have caused visibility issues.
