Ford Edge right headlight may be too bright or misaimed

NHTSA campaign 23V596000 · Reported 2023-08-25 · Ford Motor Company

low How serious is it? About this label

This is the least severe kind of recall — it raises crash risk mostly for other drivers through glare — and the notice places no limits on driving your Edge.

What's wrong, in plain English

The headlight on the front passenger side may shine too brightly or may be pointed in the wrong direction. The risk is mainly to other people on the road, because the glare can get into the eyes of oncoming drivers or people walking, and a driver who cannot see well may make a mistake. It also means the vehicle does not meet federal rules for headlights. Your dealer will check the light and replace the right headlight assembly if needed.

2. Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, and reference recall 23C26.
