Ford Initiates Recall of 355,000 Pickup Trucks Due to Instrument Panel Malfunction
Ford Recalls Over 355,000 Trucks Due to Instrument Panel Display Issue
Ford Motor Company has announced a recall of over 355,000 trucks produced in 2025 and 2026 in the United States. The recall is due to an issue with the instrument panel display in certain models, which may fail to show critical information such as warning lights, vehicle speed, and navigation details.
The affected models include the Ford F-550 SD, F-450 SD, F-350 SD, F-250 SD, and the 2025 F-150. The instrument panel cluster, which manages the digital display in a vehicle's dashboard, may fail when the engine is started, increasing the risk of a crash.
The U.S. auto safety authority, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, has announced this recall. Ford has selected Bosch and HARMAN as key partners to provide a software update to fix the instrument panel defects in their 2025-2026 models.
The software update aims to correct the issue of the instrument panel cluster not showing critical information, such as speed, fuel level, and navigation. This update is not a new recall, but a part of the previously announced recall by Ford Motor Company.
The software update will be administered by a dealer or through an over-the-air update, free of charge for the vehicle owners. The update is intended to minimize the risk of a crash due to an incorrectly functioning instrument panel cluster.
Ford has emphasized that the recall does not involve all Ford models, only specific models listed above. The company encourages owners of the affected models to get their vehicles updated as soon as possible to ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road.
This recall is a significant step towards ensuring the safety and reliability of Ford's vehicles, and the company is committed to addressing any issues that may arise. For more information about the recall, owners are advised to contact their local Ford dealer or visit Ford's official website.
