What this recall means for you
The instrument panel cluster, the display behind the steering wheel, may fail to illuminate when the vehicle starts or while driving. When this happens, critical information such as warning lights and vehicle speed may not be shown to the driver.
Without that information, a driver may not notice a warning or know how fast the vehicle is going, which increases the risk of a crash. The affected vehicles also do not meet federal motor vehicle safety standards covering controls and displays and transmission shift lever sequence.
Ford will update the instrument panel cluster software at authorized dealers free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 25, 2025. You can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall 24C35, and you can check your VIN for open recalls.
