Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,800 model-year 2017 Lincoln Continental sedans manufactured between June 14 and Sept. 23, 2016
The Problem: Xenon high-intensity-discharge headlamps may have been built with LED lenses that are missing the lens optics necessary to meet turn-signal visibility requirements. This could limit the visibility of the turn signal, increasing the risk of a crash. Lincoln manufacturer Ford noted that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with the issue.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the headlamp assemblies as necessary for free.
What Owners Should Do: Ford did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 for more info.
