Bulletin Summary
Some 2013-2016 MKZ vehicles equipped with adaptive headlamps may exhibit a Check Headlamp System fault message in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) after the right headlamp is replaced. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1D65 may also be stored in the headlamp control module (HCM). To correct this condition install a new right headlamp (13008). Right headlamps built on or after 17-Oct-2019, or reworked headlamp assemblies identified with a green dot on the box and/or a green paint mark on the headlamp near the part number label, will no longer have this issue. For claiming, use Causal Part (13008) and applicable Labor Times in the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
