Ford daytime Running Lights (DRL) may not dim when the headlight switch is moved into the "On" position.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.
The Daytime Running Lights (DRL) may not dim when the headlight switch is moved into the "On" position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
DRL that cannot dim may reduce the visibility of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will reprogram the Body Control Module (BCM) software, free of charge.
