Official summary
Some 2017-2018 Continentals built on or before 1-Dec-2017 may exhibit an intermittent concern where the front interior courtesy lamps turn on uncommanded. This may be due to a circuit board fault within the overhead console. If this condition occurs, do not replace the body control module (BCM), suspect the overhead console to be the cause.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
