What the hazard is

A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders and/or damage to property.

What to do

Until parts become available, Ford is providing Solis lights deactivation instructions which will enable customers to deactivate the Solis lights as an interim repair and continue to drive the vehicle while waiting for the final repair. For further information, contact any authorised Ford Dealer or Ford Customer Relationship Centre on 13 FORD (13 3673).

Defect

Due to a manufacturing defect, moisture may enter the ARB Solis lights wiring harness causing corrosion. If this occurs, it could generate excessive heat leading to a vehicle fire while parked or driving. Note: Affected vehicles should be parked in an open space and away from flammable materials and structures, until the defect has been rectified by Ford dealership.
