Trucks recalled for dashboard display failures
Ford Motor Co. is recalling about 355,000 trucks in the United States because of a software problem in the instrument panel cluster, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Wednesday.
The recall covers certain 20252026 Ford Super Duty models including the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 along with the 2025 F-150.
The digital display in these vehicles manages critical information such as speed, fuel level and warning indicators. Regulators said the panels may fail to light up when the engine starts, creating a risk of crashes. Dealers will update the software free of charge, and many vehicles will also receive the fix through an over-the-air update.
Brake fluid leaks prompt larger recall
On Thursday, NHTSA announced a separate Ford recall involving nearly 500,000 vehicles in the U.S. because of a brake fluid leak risk.
A ruptured hose could allow fluid to escape, lengthening stopping distances and raising the chances of an accident. The recall affects Ford Edge SUVs from model years 20152018 and Lincoln MKX vehicles from 20162018. Regulators estimate about 1% of the vehicles may have the defect.
Ford said it has not received any reports of crashes or injuries tied to the issue.
More safety campaigns under way
Ford also reported two additional recalls covering more than 314,000 vehicles. About 213,000 vehicles were recalled over faulty tail lights, and another 100,900 were flagged because of a potential tear in the airbag during deployment.
The company said all safety repairs will be provided at no cost to vehicle owners.
