Ford Recalls 355,000 F-Series Trucks for Digital Dash Failures

The company will deploy a free software fix for blank instrument screens, with owner notices set for early September.

Overview

  • The action covers 355,656 U.S. vehicles, including 2025 F-150 and 2025–2026 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks.
  • The failure occurs at startup when a CAN wakeup interrupt during the cluster’s sleep-entry sequence triggers a memory protection fault, leaving the display blank.
  • Ford will update the instrument panel cluster software at dealers or via over‑the‑air delivery to disable the memory-protection feature at no charge.
  • The company reports 95 warranty claims and no known crashes or injuries; the NHTSA reference is recall 25S88, with letters expected around Sept. 2.
  • The affected software was in production from June 2024 to July 2025, and the recall lands as Ford also moves to fix nearly 500,000 SUVs for potential brake fluid leaks.
