While washing my truck for the first time with 135 miles on it just a few days after picking it up I noticed that the cargo light reflector was starting to melt above the bulbs. I took it to the dealership and they said they would order a replacement. I came home and ordered LED bulbs that shouldn't get so hot and cause it to happen again. Is anyone else noticing a problem like this?
I have an xlt sport. Built in 8/2015. Same issue but not as dramatic as the OPs pics. Wonder if my dealer will send a replacement?
Only issue is a replacement will do the same thing until they correct the problem. I'm sure a lot of them are doing it if not all but people rarely climb into the bed and look at the 3rd brake light. I didn't until i read this and mine has started, i would have probably never known.
Add mine to the list. After reading this I went and checked mine and it has started to melt. My truck has just over 1500 miles on it and I never leave the door open for long periods of time. Not sure what to do because if ford replaces it I'm sure it will do it again soon after. I might see if I can get it replaced and changed the lights to LEDs. Thanks to the OP for posting this as I'm sure most of us wouldnt know about the problem for a long time to come.
