The short version

Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The official notice describes a safety defect, but the details were not provided in plain language.

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.

WHAT TO DO

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the headlamp assembly, free of charge.
