What's this corrosion recall all about?

[jontyrees]

I read that around 200,000 2010-2014 Taurus' are being recalled for a corrosion problem. SHO's presumably are included. What's corroding?

It's the light for the rear license plate.

its corrosion of the license plate light shorting I believe

Had that and been replaced right one on mine, not sure why that would generate a recall though. Unless it a DOT(Fed) thing that all must work.

The issue can and has caused fire hence the safety recall.
