What's wrong?
The LED logo lamps on 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigator SUVs are small lights built into the exterior mirror assemblies. They illuminate the Lincoln logo outside the vehicle and are powered by wiring inside the mirror housing. The lamp depends on sealed electrical parts staying dry.
On affected Navigators, the potting material around the LED logo lamp wiring did not bond properly to the wire terminals. That leaves gaps or cracks where water or conductive fluid can reach the printed circuit board, the small electronic board that controls the lamp. Over time, moisture can create corrosion and lead to a short circuit. Ford also found that the short detection settings were carried over from an older incandescent lamp design, so the LED circuit was not protected as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a dashboard message, sound, smell, or visible lamp problem before the short occurs.
Who's affected?
The same right-hand logo lamp assembly is involved across the 2015, 2016, and 2017 Navigator model years.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lincoln technician disconnects the LED logo light wires in the exterior mirrors so the short circuit risk is removed. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If you already paid out of pocket for this LED logo light repair before the recall notice, Ford's reimbursement plan gives you a path to claim documented costs. Bring receipts or repair paperwork to the service desk, or contact Ford customer service, so the prior repair can be reviewed under that plan.
