ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025-2026 F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, F-600, 2026 F-150, and F-750 SD vehicles. The analog cluster’s tachometer and speedometer may become stuck or move erratically, providing inaccurate readings to the driver. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 101, "Controls and Displays."
- What it can cause
- A speedometer that fails to display accurate vehicle speed can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the instrument cluster modules, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, are expected to be mailed in October 26, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C46. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 7, 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 102,159 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 92% of the 19,880 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, 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 103 times before this, most recently in September 2026 as 26V582000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 5 of the 12 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 62 complaints with NHTSA, 56 of them before this campaign was filed. 16 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 June 2025, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V689000 (structure), 26V655000 (seats), 26V606000 (exterior lighting), 26V578000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 October 6, 2026 as campaign 26V653000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
