Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 8,523 of its 2023 Ford Edge vehicles because the front right headlight may be too bright or aimed incorrectly. This defect means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for lighting equipment. Ford dealers will inspect the right headlight assembly and replace it if necessary at no cost to owners.

Risk

A headlight that is too bright or pointed in the wrong direction can create a dangerous glare for oncoming drivers or other road users, which increases the risk of a crash.
