Details
What's wrong: When used in areas that use road salt, the license plate lamp assembly may experience an electro-chemical reaction and corrosion as a result of water intrusion.
Why it matters: This corrosion may result in a short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the license plate lamp assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on July 26, 2014.
