Ford Issues Recall for Over 355,000 Trucks
Ford is considering a recall affecting more than 355,000 pickup trucks after reports of dashboard display failures. This information was revealed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in a report filed on August 22.
The recall targets specific models of the 2025 F-150 and certain 2025-2026 Super Duty Trucks, including the F-550, F-450, F-350, and F-250. The NHTSA report indicates that the instrument panel can malfunction during startup, leading to a blank screen that obscures crucial safety information and gauges.
While Ford hasn’t reported any accidents or injuries due to this defect, the company did receive 95 warranty claims by June 26. The NHTSA cautioned that this malfunction raises the risk of crashes since drivers lose access to essential vehicle data.
Ford is providing free software updates to address the issue. Vehicle owners can receive these updates either through authorized dealers or via an “Over the Air” download. It’s estimated that all 355,656 affected vehicles contain faulty software that Ford implemented in June 2024 but discontinued in July 2025.
This dashboard issue will be added to Ford’s list of recalls for this year. Just last month, the company also faced recalls for over 694,000 Bronco Sports and Escape vehicles due to fuel injection problems, in addition to recalling more than 850,000 cars for potential fuel pump failures, as noted in separate NHTSA reports.
Kumar Garhotra, Ford’s Chief Operating Officer, commented earlier this month about enhancing the recall processes. He stated that the initiative aims to quickly identify and rectify hardware and software issues, emphasizing improved safety testing as part of their strategy.
The Daily Caller reached out to Ford for additional comments, but any response has yet to be disclosed.
Ford mentioned that the ability to deliver software updates remotely is “more convenient for customers compared to in-person dealer visits,” according to reports from the Associated Press.
