More than a quarter million Ford trucks have just been recalled for a reason that could cause major accidents and even be deadly, if not fixed.
Why Is Ford Recalling So Many Trucks?
According to Fox Business, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said certain Ford 2025–2026 models — more than 350,000 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks — have been recalled due to the fact that the instrument cluster on the dashboard can all of a sudden just go blank.
A rep from Ford says, “This condition can prevent safety-related telltales and gauges from being readable, increasing the risk of a crash as critical safety information may not be displayed.”
You can be in the middle of driving and the screen will just fade to black, not letting you see vital information needed to drive successfully, including your speed and any warnings that might pop up on the dash.
There have been nearly 100 complaints from consumers and owners across America, but so far there have been no reported injuries, and everyone is just trying to get ahead of what could be a dangerous situation if not fixed.
If you have one of the trucks that falls under this massive recall, you are urged to bring your car into your local Ford dealership for the necessary and free repairs.
You can also wait until you get a letter in the mail describing how to update your software, so you don’t even have to go to a dealership.
