Ford to recall more than 355,000 trucks over instrument panel issue, NHTSA says

(Reuters) -Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 355,000 trucks in the U.S over a issue with the instrument panel display, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.

The recall affects certain Ford 2025-2026 models - F-550 SD, F-450 SD, F-350 SD, and F-250 SD - and the 2025 F-150.

The instrument panel cluster manages the digital display in a vehicle's dashboard, showing critical information like speed, fuel level and navigation.

An IPC that does not show critical information such as warning lights or vehicle speed increases the risk of a crash, the U.S. auto safety authority said.

It added the panel may fail when the engine is started and that the software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air update, free of charge.
