2022 Lincoln Navigator Headlight Control Software Defect Causes Light Failure

Ford is recalling certain 2022 Lincoln Navigator vehicles due to headlight control module software that may fail, causing side marker and daytime running lights to go dark. This increases crash risk from reduced visibility.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a critical safety system (exterior lighting) where a software defect may cause lights to fail, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk. Although no injuries or incidents have been reported, this meets the criterion of a risk-of-harm product defect without reported injury.
