ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Expedition vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 20V263. The "Transmission Not In Park" warning message and associated chime duration are shorter than intended.
- What it can cause
- If the driver exits the vehicle without the transmission being shifted into park, unintended vehicle movement may result, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the instrument cluster panel software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 30, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C71. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 15, 2026.
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 890 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 95 times before this, most recently in November 2025 as 25V789000. 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 483 complaints with NHTSA, 384 of them before this campaign was filed. 17 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 February 2019, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V402000 (power train), 26V368000 (structure), 26V344000 (seat belts), 25V197000 (seat belts).
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 December 18, 2025 as campaign 25V886000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
