ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling one 2024 Mustang vehicle that was repaired incorrectly under recall 24V802. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) may not illuminate at startup or while driving. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays" and 102, "Transmission shift lever sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect."
- What it can cause
- An instrument panel display that does not show critical information, such as warning lights or vehicle speed, increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- A dealer will update the instrument panel cluster software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 12, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C35.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 90 times before this, most recently in June 2025 as 25V441000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 73 complaints with NHTSA, 43 of them before this campaign was filed. 32 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V547000 (electrical system), 26V418000 (visibility), 25V546000 (exterior lighting), 25V315000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on August 8, 2025 as campaign 25V516000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
