Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, Mustang Mach E and Mustang vehicles. The action covers 3,270 vehicles.
The LED Driver Modules may contain a burnt diode, which can cause the low-beam and high-beam headlights, daytime running lights, front position lights and front turn signals to fail in the affected headlight. On Nautilus vehicles only, this condition may also affect the rear tail light, rear turn signal and further rear lighting. According to the manufacturer, exterior lighting failure can reduce visibility for the driver and other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.
