Ford has issued a recall affecting more than 355,000 pickup trucks due to dashboard display malfunctions, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The defect involves certain 2025 F-150 models and 2025–2026 Super Duty trucks, including F-550, F-450, F-350, and F-250 variants. The instrument panel cluster may fail during startup, resulting in a blank screen that could hinder access to critical safety information and vehicle gauges.

The NHTSA noted the issue poses an increased crash risk, though Ford has not reported accidents or injuries linked to the defect. Over 95 warranty claims were filed by June 26. The company will provide free software updates to resolve the problem, available via authorized dealerships or over-the-air downloads. The faulty software was introduced in June 2024 and discontinued in July 2025.

This recall adds to Ford’s recent spate of vehicle recalls, including nearly 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles for fuel injector issues and over 850,000 cars for potential fuel pump failures. The automaker also announced a separate recall of 500,000 vehicles due to brake fluid leaks, affecting certain 2016–2018 Lincoln MKX and 2015–2018 Edge SUV models. The defect could cause rear brake hoses to rupture, increasing stopping distances.

Ford’s Chief Operating Officer Kumar Galhotra attributed the recalls to an “intensive strategy” for identifying and addressing hardware and software issues, citing enhanced safety testing as part of the process.
