Our department's fleet of 2013 and 2015 interceptors have experienced tepeated headlight failures. No recall found for this problem. Problems began as vehicles surpassed warranty limits. One serviced at the dealer and the wire harness had burned up and needed replaced, as well as the bcm needed reprogramming. One hour into use after service the same headlight failed again. Each 2013 model has had headlights replaced at least twice and the 2015's are increasing in failure rate. The service cost was over $500. The estimated reprogramming cost was quoted at $250. The absence of a recall will result in ridiculous cost overruns in maintenance budgets.
