Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with high intensity discharge (hid) headlights. The headlights may have been built with incorrect lenses, adversely affecting the turn signal visibility as well as not being properly marked. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment."

Why it matters: Reduced turn signal visibility to other drivers and pedestrians can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlights, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 16, 2016.
