Ford has just announced a recall for the 2017 Lincoln Continental due to an issue with the headlights.

According to the manufacturer, the HID headlights installed into the new Continental could have been fitted with an LED lens that fails to comply with federal visibility requirements for turn signals.

Fortunately for Ford, production of the Continental only started in the middle of the year so the scope of the recall is relatively small.

All up, 1,876 vehicles are affected and of those, 1,826 reside in the United States while 49 are found in Canada and one in an unnamed federalized territory. Importantly, only around 300 of these cars have been delivered to customers.

To resolve the issue, Ford will simply replace the defective headlight units free of charge.
