Overview

  • Regulatory filings cite 355,656 2025–2026 F-Series trucks whose instrument clusters can start up blank, obscuring speed and warning indicators.
  • Ford will provide a free software update at dealers or over the air that disables the instrument cluster’s memory‑protection feature, with owner letters starting around Sept. 2.
  • A separate 499,129‑vehicle campaign covers 2015–2018 Ford Edge and 2016–2018 Lincoln MKX SUVs for rear flexible brake hoses that can rupture and leak brake fluid.
  • Brake‑hose notices are slated for Sept. 8–12, the repair is still under development and expected in April 2026, and no related crashes or injuries have been reported.
  • Additional recalls for trailer taillight failures on 2025 Explorer/Aviator (213,121) and Ranger side‑curtain airbags (~100,900) lift Ford’s 2025 recall count to well over 100.
