2013 Lincoln Navigator 4dr SUV

310-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic RWD

83000 mi Rear taillight bulb out. The bulb was replaced under warranty (just bought the truck, and they replaced it as a part of the sales process). That being said, the service department did try to charge me for it, before the bill was corrected. If I recall, that was a $12 charge. Which I think was essentially the cost of a bulb and 5-10 minutes. I've got to replace the same bulb again (Yay Ford Quality), and am going to do it myself.
