NHTSA recall 15V248000

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with daytime running lights (drl). In the affected vehicles, the parking lights do not reduce their light output from a drl level when used in conjunction with the headlights. As such, the light output may exceed the the permissable amount allowed by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: If the light output is excessive, oncoming traffic may be temporarily blinded, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will update the lighting control software, free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2015.
