Ford recall: Nearly 605,000 Explorers, Escapes and Lincoln SUVs hit by wiper failure risk

Ford Motor is recalling 604,533 vehicles in the U.S., after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration flagged a potential windshield wiper motor failure that could cut visibility and heighten crash risk. The recall targets some 2020-2022 Ford Explorer and Escape SUVs, plus Lincoln Aviator and Corsair models. Dealers will check and, if needed, swap out front wiper motors free of charge, the agency said. Separately, Ford has another recall affecting 11,431 vehicles due to a driveshaft friction weld problem that might cause rear driveshaft separation and sudden loss of drive power, according to NHTSA.

Tesco says over 22,000 employees are set to split as much as £134 million through its Save As You Earn program—a company scheme letting staff lock in future share purchases at a fixed price.
