Keep an eye on it,if it happens again, take it straight to the dealer so they can document when the problem first started.

Bulbs, brake pads, clutches, wiper blades, alignment, WEAR ITEMS are covered 12 months/12,000 miles.

It would be up to the discretion of the dealership if they warrantied this headlight beyond 12/12 for the LED issue. IMHO - it is a defective headlamp. A dealership however may see it different seeing as they are on the hook for the cost if Ford denies the warranty claim.

I had my battery replaced under warranty (Jan 2014) since it fell under the acceptable time of wear and tear.

The dealer will definitely fix that. But man... its like the saying... the more complications, the more problems.

Been seeing a few Audi sedans with those led's out, and I was under the impression they tend to last for years. My neighbor up my street had his burn out with less than 3,000 KM, and that's another Audi sedan! Dealer replaced both sides according to the owner.

I still recommend you bring it and have your dealer take a look at it, xtc.inc. I’ll get it escalated for you if needed.

This^^

I had a skipping drivers side wiper blade that the dealer replaced twice for me under warranty. I was concerned that the glass (windshield) had a problem. The third time, they replaced the wiper arm, and all is good.

And this was all under warranty, right up to 32K.

Just picked up a new warranty replaced battery today for my car. Just under a year of ownership and only 3,000 miles on the car. Even stored it in a the heated basement....go figure.
