Consumer Description

THERE'S MOISTURE BUILDUP IN THE REAR TAILLIGHT ASEMBLY THAT BURNED OUT THE LED LIGHTS. THE WHOLE TAILLIGHT ASEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS $525.00. I HAVE SINCE BEEN PICKED UP BY LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT'S DRIVING A FORD EXPLORER. I TOLD HIM I WAS AWARE OF THE TAILLIGHT. I PROCEEDED TO TELL HIM THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST $525.00 TO FIX IT. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL. NOTHING ON THE ASEMBLY IS BROKEN
