Ford Motor Co. is recalling 22,616 2015 model-year Lincoln MKZ sedans in North America because the parking lamps are excessively bright and might affect the vision of oncoming drivers.
Ford said it isn’t aware of any accidents or injuries related to the condition, however.

To resolve the problem, Lincoln dealers will update the body control module software. There will be no charge for this service.
The Lincoln MKZ sedans subject to the recall were built Feb. 17, 2014, to March 19 of this year at Hermosillo Assembly Plant. A total of 21,435 of the cars are in the U.S. The remaining sedans are in Canada (1,066) and Mexico (115).
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.
