Ford recalls 1M vehicles

DETROIT, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Ford Motor Co. has recalled 1.08 million 2000 and 2001 cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles because the windshield wiper motor switch can overheat, resulting in the loss of wiper function. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the problem is most likely to occur in the intermittent setting, or when snow or ice obstructs the blades from returning to the parked position.
