Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 Lincoln Navigator vehicles that were previously repaired under Recall 22V455 (22C14). The headlight control module software may cause the side marker and daytime running lights to fail.
These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 (Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment). A loss of exterior lighting reduces visibility and increases the risk of a crash.
Approximately 48 vehicles are affected. Owners previously received notification letters on July 16, 2025. Ford will provide a free software update at authorized dealers. Owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to schedule service.
