Useful to include the recall number if no screen shot of the info is possible.

I see nothing that spells out the 2026 maverick itself so far when I search the recall 26V117 mentioned.

I don't really trust the AI world myself, (imo currently its garbage in/garbage out or a blend of opinions/statements others put on the internet) but when I googled the question, the below turned up, so here's the cut/paste of what it returned:

AI Overview

A 2026 Ford Maverick wiper motor recall (NHTSA #26V117) was announced in March 2026, part of a larger 600,000+ vehicle recall for faulty motors that may fail, cutting visibility. Dealers will inspect and replace the front wiper motors for free. Owners should watch for dealer notification letters, which begin in March 2026.

Recall Details

• Affected Components: Front windshield wiper motor.
• Issue: A misaligned motor cover terminal can create a poor electrical connection, leading to intermittent or total failure of the windshield wipers.
• Safety Risk: Reduced visibility due to inoperable wipers can increase the risk of a crash.
• Fix: Ford dealerships will inspect and replace the wiper motor if needed, free of charge.
• Action: Contact Ford Customer Service at 866-436-7332 (Recall #26S14) for more information.

Note: While there were 2024 recalls for 2022-2024 Maverick wiper issues, the major 600,000-unit, 2026-referenced recall pertains to a new, broader issue in 2026.

I got this recall on my 2023 Ford BS Badlands
Not in my Maverick... yet...

I got a notice yesterday and thought it was for my 22 Maverick and just put it aside because it said they didn't have the parts to fix it anyway. Checked again and it's for my son's 21 Escape.

False alarm

OP UPDATED HIS POST.

The OP jumped "the gun" and assumed it was for his Maverick.

It isn't.
