2021 Wiper motor programing Recall

[904Bronco]

Got a recall notice from Ford for wiper motor reprograming, it was at the Dealership for most of a day.

If I understand it correctly, (explained to me by the Service Writer) there is programing to slow the motor down if the wipers encounter restrictions like mud, dirt, debris. Unfortunately it would also slow down if you experienced heavy rains?

I took my wife's Bronco in for an oil change and did the recall while I waited.(they didn't look too busy) Wasn't totally sure what they did, but I was glad I didn't have to make another trip to the dealer.

I've done a bunch of them, takes about 5 minutes to do.

Thanks for that ^ information.

I called my dealer and they said they would have to get back with me. So far no word.

Two things caught my eye - If it happens you can just rotate the stalk and cure it temporarily?
And 2nd thing - Ford will come to the customer to fix this?

I have this issue with my 2023, but my wifes 2022 is fine. I have no other reason to take mine back to the dealer so it can wait.

I have this issue on my 23 as well, its kinda scary when it happens. Its always in heavy rains, and the wipers just stop. Turning the stalk to another setting gets them going again. I'm still trying to find a decent dealer to take it in for the recall.
