Official summary
Some 2025 Expedition vehicles may require replacement of the rear license plate bulb. During any service in this area such as lamp or bulb replacement, it may be difficult to remove the bulb from its socket. To aid in removal, wrap the rear license plate bulb with a broad piece of strong adhesive tape. Leave extra tape hanging to the side of the bulb to provide more areas to grasp, then carefully separate the bulb from its socket.
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.
