Ford Motor Co. is issuing a safety compliance recall for approximately 1,826 2017-model year Lincoln Continental vehicles in the U.S. because the HID headlamps may have LED lenses that are missing the required lens optics for turn signal visibility.
These requirements are set forth in federal safety standards.

Dealers will make an inspection and, if necessary, replace the headlamp assemblies. There will be no charge for this service, Ford said in a released statement.
Ford added that it isn’t aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue. The recall covers certain 2017 Lincoln Continental vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant from June 14 to Sept. 23 of this year.
In addition to the vehicles recalled in the U.S., 49 more will be recalled in Canada for the same issue. One will be recalled in federalized territories.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
