Summary:
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The headlights can flash intermittently as a result of the circuit breaker opening. The vehicle's headlights can go
out for brief intervals.
Loss of headlights during vehicle operation can affect a driver's ability to navigate the roadway and reduce the visability of the vehicle, increasing the
risk of a crash.
Dealers will install a headlight switch that incorporates a circuit breaker of revised design and installation of a wiring harness connector and wiring, if
needed.
Owner notification is expected to begin April 15, 1998. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do
not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
