福特召回41,748辆Super Duty皮卡与Expedition：大灯LED芯片受污染会变暗或熄灭
福特汽车公司正在美国召回41,748辆皮卡与全尺寸SUV：2026款F-250、F-350、F-450、F-550 Super Duty共28,450辆，2025至2027款Expedition共13,298辆。这批车的大灯总成里，LED芯片下方藏有污染物，日间行车灯、驻车灯乃至近光灯和远光灯都可能变暗或熄灭。福特的召回报告已于9月22日提交美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA），车主通知信自11月6日起陆续寄出，经销商将免费检查两侧大灯，不合格的免费更换。
分车型看，Super Duty里数量最多的是F-250 SD，17,512辆，其次是F-350 SD 10,295辆、F-450 SD 523辆、F-550 SD 120辆，生产期为2025年8月4日至2026年8月4日；Expedition的13,298辆生产期为2025年6月24日至2026年7月2日。福特圈定的是截至2026年9月15日尚未售出、或投入使用不满四个月的车辆，因为这类污染缺陷会在车辆使用早期显现。福特估计，这批车辆中约1%真正带有缺陷。
缺陷的表现因灯型而异：装LED反射式或投影式大灯的Super Duty，日间行车灯与驻车灯会变暗或失效；装LED反射式大灯的Super Duty，还可能近光灯、远光灯失效；Expedition装的是LED反射式大灯，近光灯、远光灯会变暗或失效。这样的照明状态不符合联邦机动车安全标准第108号对灯光的要求。车外照明失效会降低驾驶员的能见度，也让车辆更难被其他人看见，增加碰撞风险；近光或远光失效时，仪表盘上的指示灯会点亮，提醒驾驶员注意。
污染来自供应链上游。大灯总成由一级供应商Flex N Gate在其位于伊利诺伊州Effingham的工厂生产，LED芯片在芯片供应商的工厂里沾染了污染物。福特在2026年5月21日把这个问题送入内部审查流程，5月至6月查明污染根源，7月至8月圈定受影响车辆范围；截至9月10日，福特共收到6起保修索赔和6份现场报告，涉及6辆车。福特表示，目前没有收到与这一问题有关的事故或受伤报告。9月15日，福特的现场审查委员会批准了这次召回，福特内部编号26C43，NHTSA编号26V606。
修复办法已经排定：车主收到通知信后，把车开到福特或林肯经销商，技师会检查左右两侧的大灯总成，通过检查的无需再做处理，没通过的免费换上用无污染工艺生产的大灯总成。经销商已在10月26日至30日收到这次召回的通知；自10月26日起，车主可以在NHTSA网站输入车辆识别代号（VIN）查询自己的车是否在召回之列；车主通知信在11月6日至13日之间寄出。车主有疑问可拨打福特客户服务电话1-866-436-7332。（来源：美国国家公路交通安全管理局）
Ford Recalls 41,748 Super Duty Trucks and Expeditions: Contaminated LED Chips Can Dim or Kill the Headlights
Ford Motor Company is recalling 41,748 pickups and full-size SUVs in the United States: 28,450 of its 2026 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks, and 13,298 of its 2025-2027 Expedition SUVs. Inside the headlamp assemblies of these vehicles, a contaminant sits beneath the LED chips, and the daytime running lights, parking lamps and even the low and high beams can dim or go dark. Ford filed its recall report with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on September 22, owner notification letters begin mailing November 6, and dealers will inspect both headlamps free of charge and replace any that fail the inspection.
By model, the Super Duty count is led by the F-250 SD at 17,512 vehicles, followed by the F-350 SD at 10,295, the F-450 SD at 523 and the F-550 SD at 120, built from August 4, 2025 through August 4, 2026; the 13,298 Expeditions were built from June 24, 2025 through July 2, 2026. Ford limited the recall to vehicles that, as of September 15, 2026, had not yet been sold or had been in service for less than four months, because the contamination shows up early in a vehicle's life. Ford estimates that about 1 percent of the recalled vehicles actually carry the defect.
Symptoms depend on the lamp type. On Super Duty trucks with LED reflector or projector headlamps, the daytime running lights and parking lamps can dim or fail; on Super Duty trucks with LED reflector headlamps, the low and high beams can also fail. The Expedition, which uses LED reflector headlamps, can see its low and high beams dim or fail. The condition does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 on lighting. Failed exterior lighting reduces the driver's visibility and makes the vehicle harder for others to see, raising the risk of a crash; if a low or high beam fails, a telltale on the instrument panel lights up to alert the driver.
The contamination came from upstream in the supply chain. The headlamp assemblies are built by tier-one supplier Flex N Gate at its plant in Effingham, Illinois, and the LED chips were exposed to the contaminant at the chip supplier's factory. Ford brought the issue to its internal critical-concern review group on May 21, 2026, traced the source of the contamination in May and June, and defined the affected population in July and August. Through September 10, Ford had received six warranty claims and six field reports covering six vehicles, and the company says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. Ford's Field Review Committee approved the recall on September 15; Ford's internal number for the campaign is 26C43, and the NHTSA campaign number is 26V606.
The remedy is set. Owners who receive the letter take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer, where technicians inspect both the left and right headlamp assemblies; vehicles that pass need nothing further, and vehicles that fail get new headlamps built with uncontaminated parts, free of charge. Dealers were notified from October 26 through October 30, owners have been able to check their vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA website since October 26, and owner letters are scheduled to mail between November 6 and November 13. Owners with questions can call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
