What is the EXTERIOR LIGHTING recall for the 2013 FORD Focus? (Campaign #13V335000)

The side marker lights on your vehicle are the small lights on the front corners that help other drivers see your car at night. In some 2012-2013 Ford Focus BEV and 2013 Focus ST models, a wiring issue can cause these lights to fail. If your side marker lights don't work, your vehicle will be harder to see at night, increasing the risk of a crash. Your Ford dealer will fix the wiring issue with the headlamp assembly at no cost to you. They'll simply rewire the lights to make sure they're working properly.
