ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017 F-150 vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 17V053. The instrument cluster may lose power after initial vehicle start-up in cold ambient temperatures. Several gauges, including the transmission gear position indicator, may not illuminate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect."
- What it can cause
- An instrument cluster that fails to display critical safety information, such as gear position or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly (IPC) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 17, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C26. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on July 6, 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 4,445 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% 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, 2017, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 99 times before this, most recently in February 2026 as 26V104000. 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 1,419 complaints with NHTSA, 1,275 of them before this campaign was filed. 130 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 March 2017, 9 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V237000 (power train), 25V236000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V150000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 20V332000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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 June 9, 2026 as campaign 26V370000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
