The Daily Caller reported more on the recall and what trucks were impacted:
Ford is recalling potentially more than 355,000 pickup trucks nationwide after dashboard displays began failing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced in a report submitted August 22.
The recall includes certain 2025 F-150 models and 2025-2026 Super Duty trucks, including certain F-550, F-450, F-350 and F-250 models, according to the NHTSA report. The instrument panel cluster can fail during startup, resulting in a blank screen that can prevent drivers from reading critical safety information and gauges, the report stated.
While Ford has not reported any accidents or injuries linked to the defect, the company received 95 warranty claims by June 26. The NHTSA warned that the failure increases crash risk since drivers cannot access essential vehicle data.
Ford will provide free software updates to fix the problem. Owners can receive the update at authorized dealerships or through an “over-the-air” download. All 355,656 vehicles covered by the recall are estimated to have the defective software, which Ford introduced in June 2024 and discontinued in July 2025, the NHTSA stated.
The dashboard failure adds to Ford’s growing list of recalls this year. The company potentially recalled more than 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles last month for fuel injector problems and over 850,000 cars for potential fuel pump failures, according to separate NHTSA reports.
Ford’s Chief Operating Officer Kumar Galhotra addressed the increase in recalls earlier this month, writing in a company blog that it “reflects our intensive strategy to quickly find and fix hardware and software issues and go the extra mile to help protect customers.” He cited heightened safety testing as part of Ford’s approach to identifying issues.
In a separate recall, the vehicle manufacturer announced it has recalled an additional 500,000 vehicles due to a brake fluid leak.

The New York Post reported more on what vehicles were impacted by the brake fluid leaks:
Ford is recalling nearly 500,000 vehicles over a brake fluid leak that extends how much time it takes the brakes to kick in – raising the risk of a crash.
The rear brake hose may rupture and leak fluid, requiring more distance to stop the vehicle.
Certain 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2015-2018 Edge SUV vehicles are included in the recall.
