What's wrong, in plain English
Some Lincoln Nautilus, Mustang Mach-E, and Mustang vehicles have LED driver modules that may contain a burnt diode. This can cause the low-beam and high-beam headlights, daytime running lights, front position lights, and front turn signals on the affected side to stop working. On Nautilus vehicles, it may also cause the rear tail light, rear turn signal, and rear position light to stop working.
What you should do
2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the LED driver modules inspected and replaced if needed; call 1-866-436-7332 with questions.
3. The repair is free.
