Water in Lincoln Corsair rear lights kills brake lights

NHTSA campaign 25V688000 · Reported 2025-10-10 · Ford Motor Company

medium How serious is it? About this label

Serious but not urgent — the notice does not tell you to stop driving, though missing brake or turn lights raise your chance of being hit, so get it fixed soon and be extra careful at night.

What's wrong, in plain English

Water can get inside the light clusters at the back of your Corsair. When that happens, one or more of the rear lights can stop working — the reverse light, tail light, brake light, or turn signal on the left or right side. Other drivers may not be able to see your car well, and they may not get any warning when you brake, turn, or back up. The lights do not meet federal safety rules.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Corsair is included (VINs have been searchable since October 14, 2025). 2. Call your Lincoln dealer for an appointment, or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and mention recall 25C53. 3. The dealer will inspect and replace the rear light assemblies if needed, free of charge.

Summary
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Lincoln Corsair vehicles. Water may leak into the left and right rear combination lights, possibly resulting in a loss of reverse light, tail light, brake light, or rear turn signal function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Safety risk
Loss of rear lighting functions can reduce vehicle visibility and fail to alert other drivers that the vehicle is braking, turning, or reversing, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and replace the rear combination light assemblies, as necessary, free charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 14, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C53.
