NHTSA recall 20E025000
Exterior Lighting · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The headlamps may have an improper beam pattern and incorrect horizontal adjustment, the side markers may not illuminate and dot markings may be missing. As such, these headlamps fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: The incorrect headlamps may reduce the driver's visibility or make the vehicle less visible, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify vehicle manufacturers, and dealers will inspect the headlamps, and replace the headlamps, as necessary, free of charge. Additionally, Ford will instruct dealers to return all improper headlamps and not to install them on any vehicles. The recall began June 3, 2020.
