What's wrong, in plain English
Ford is recalling certain Expedition, F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, F-600 SD, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles because the windshield wiper arms may break. When a wiper arm breaks, the windshield wipers can fail to work properly, which can make it harder for the driver to see the road ahead. Dealers will inspect the wiper arms on affected vehicles and replace them if necessary, at no cost to the owner.
