Lincoln filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Apr 30, 2024, received May 3, 2024. It names 3 model years (2020–2022).

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationSome 2020-2022 Corsair vehicles equipped with a head-up display (HUD) may exhibit a condition where the display does not allow the projection height to be adjusted properly. This may be due to the software installed in the HUD. To correct this condition, reprogram the HUD using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) diagnostic tool. For claiming, use causal part 19G468 and applicable labor operation in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Lincoln SSM 52499 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the SSM 52499 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does SSM 52499 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 3 model years: 2022 Lincoln Corsair, 2021 Lincoln Corsair, 2020 Lincoln Corsair. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
