Service bulletin SSM 46121
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
SOME 2014-2017 TRANSIT CONNECT VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT LOW BEAM HEADLAMP BULB BURN OUT, IN WHICH THE BULB CONNECTOR IS ALSO DAMAGED. THIS CONCERN IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. DO NOT REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. TO SERVICE, USE PIGTAIL KIT 8U2Z-14S411-GA. DO NOT SHORTEN THE WIRES ON THE PIGTAIL KIT, SO THEY CAN ACT AS A HEAT SINK TO DRAW HEAT AWAY FROM THE BULB. A NEW PART AND PROCEDURE IS BEING DEVELOPED. MONITOR OASIS FOR UPDATES.
