Details
What's wrong:
Why it matters: An improperly cured projector coating will become hazy through operation, over time, reducing the brightness of the low-beam lamp. This may decrease driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the headlamp assembly. The recall began on December 18, 2012.
