    Ford Motor Co. said Friday it is recalling its 2013 Fusion for the second time in less than a week, this time to replace faulty headlights. More than 20,000 new sedans in North America are involved.

    The Dearborn automaker said Friday that some low-beam headlights may not be bright enough. Some 2013 model year Fusion vehicles produced at Ford's Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly Plant in Mexico were built with headlamp assemblies that may not have had the low-beam headlamp projector coating properly cured during its manufacturing process.

    Improperly cured lamp projectors will become hazy through operation, over time, reducing the brightness of the low-beam lamp, Ford told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

    The recall covers vehicles built between February and Oct. 20, including 19,106 cars sold in the United States and 1,098 in Canada.
