Condensation build up in my passenger headlamp has caused the led rope lighting to stop working.This shows a recall but one not offered at this time.I have never received any recalls through the mail form.I recently moved and my address is as follows: [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The right headlight is filling up with condensation which is shorting out the battery. Replaced it more condensation is back in it. Mechanic says seals are no good says its a common problem in all lincolns. Lights and adaptive module cost well over 5K for one light not including the labor. This is a potential for a fire hazard.

LED ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHTS ARE SAID TO MOVE IN COORDINATION WITH THE STEERING ANGLE WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED BUT DO NOT. EVEN WHEN SET TO AUTOMATIC MODE, HEADLIGHTS WILL ONLY ILLUMINATE IN THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE VEHICLE IS POINTING PARTIALLY BLINDING DRIVERS IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ADDITIONALLY THE MANUAL STATES ON VEHICLE STARTUP WE SHOULD SEE THE LAMPS TRACK TO A "PREDETERMINED POSITION" THEN CENTER. MINE DOES NOT DO THIS. I ALSO MADE SURE TO DRIVE ABOVE 5MPH AND TURNED MY WHEEL FOR VERY SHARP INTO SHALLOW TURNS. THE MANUAL ALSO SHOWS A WHOLE SUB MENU JUST FOR THE ADAPTIVE LIGHTING. I ALSO DO NOT HAVE THIS MENU. LASTLY THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER IN ADDITION TO THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER IN THE SETTINGS MENU, THERE IS NOT ONE. THE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY STATES THAT IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THIS FEATURE YOU MUST GO TO SETTINGS MENU UNDER...
