I know in canada they made them call them back and fix the leaks that caused the wiper failure/gem module failure to fix it at Ford would be 600. 00 dollars which requires replacing the gem module and it is recommended to change the fuse panel also and to fix the leak there was a bulletin to silicone the seams which is a temporary repair.
