Ford has announced a recall for certain 2012-2013 Focus BEV and 2013 model year Focus ST vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, because these vehicles fail to comply to the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Standards (FMVSS). Approximately 6,308 vehicles are affected by this problem.

According to the recall report filed with the National Highway Traffic, a wiring incompatibility in the lighting system could result in the front side marker lamps not functioning. Without the proper illumination, the vehicle will be less visible in night time conditions, increasing the risk of an accident.

Owners receiving a recall notice will be asked to take their vehicles to their nearest Ford dealership to have the headlamp assembly wiring modifies. For more information about the problem, customers can call Ford customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s recall number is 13C04.
