Model and year alone do not establish whether a vehicle is covered. The recall applies to specific vehicles, so verify the VIN through Ford or NHTSA rather than assuming every vehicle in the listed model years is included. The campaign identifiers are Ford 26C43 and NHTSA 26V606000.
What is the LED headlight problem?
The reported defect is a potentially contaminated LED chip within a headlight assembly. Depending on the failure, daytime running lights, parking lights, high beams or low beams may stop working. This is not a finding that all LED bulbs in these vehicles—or all Ford LED lights—are defective.

How to check your VIN and arrange a repair
- Find the VIN. Use the 17-character vehicle identification number shown on the vehicle and its registration or insurance documents.
- Check recall status. Search the VIN through NHTSA’s recall lookup or use Ford’s recall channels. A model-year match is not a substitute for a VIN-specific result.
- Contact a Ford dealer if the recall applies. Ask the dealer to confirm the open recall and arrange the repair. The available recall summaries report that the remedy is free, but do not specify the repair procedure or replacement part.
- Follow the vehicle-specific instructions. Do not treat an aftermarket bulb purchase as recall verification or as a substitute for the recall remedy.
Reports available as of October 8, 2026, said NHTSA VIN search availability and owner letters were expected around October 26, 2026. That date is an expected milestone, not proof that a lookup or notice is available now; check Ford or NHTSA for current status.

What owners should do if a light fails
If a headlight or other exterior light is not working, avoid relying on the vehicle in conditions where the failed light affects safe visibility. Check the VIN and contact a Ford dealer for guidance on the open recall and repair. A failed light is a safety concern whether or not the vehicle ultimately qualifies for this campaign.
