Owners of 2009, 2010, and 2011 Mercury Marquis, Ford Crown Victoria, and Lincoln Town Car vehicles are reporting a dangerous fire hazard.

At issue is an electrical wiring problem in the both the passenger and driver side vanity mirrors that can lead to electrical components heating to such a temperature that they burn and melt the vehicle’s sun visor and the material surrounding it.

In fact, one driver reports that they suffered second to third degree burns due to the melting components falling from above while driving after the driver’s side vanity mirror light began to burn.

There is a history of dangerous vanity mirror light electrical issues across the car industry. In 2014, Chrysler recalled 895,000 vehicles, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango due to vanity mirror fires.
