On the Dash:
- Ford recall covers 102,159 F-Series trucks with speedometers and tachometers that may stick or read inaccurately.
- The recall includes certain 2025-2026 Super Duty trucks, the F-600, and the 2026 F-150 and F-750.
- Dealers will replace the instrument cluster modules free of charge, NHTSA said.
Ford is recalling 102,159 F-Series trucks in the U.S. because the analog speedometer and tachometer can give drivers inaccurate readings, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The tachometer, which shows engine speed in revolutions per minute, and the speedometer may get stuck or move erratically, NHTSA said. Inaccurate gauge readings can leave drivers unaware of how fast they are going.
The recall covers the following:
- 2025-2026 F-250 Super Duty
- 2025-2026 F-350 Super Duty
- 2025-2026 F-450 Super Duty
- 2025-2026 F-550 Super Duty
- 2025-2026 F-600
- 2026 F-150
- 2026 F-750 Super Duty
A familiar trouble spot
Instrument clusters have been a repeat issue for Ford’s truck lineup. In August 2025, the automaker recalled more than 355,000 F-150 and Super Duty trucks because a digital cluster could go blank at startup. That fix was a software update, delivered by a dealer or over the air. Ford reported no crashes or injuries tied to that issue at the time.
The latest recall involves analog gauges and calls for new hardware instead of new software.
Part of a busy recall year
The recall adds to Ford’s long list. NHTSA data cited in late September showed the automaker had issued 78 recalls covering nearly 14.1 million vehicles in 2026. Ford issued more than 150 recalls in 2025, more than any other automaker.
Recent campaigns include 41,748 Expedition SUVs and Super Duty trucks with headlights that can dim or fail, and 148,663 Mustangs with wiring ground connections that could fracture and cause a loss of drive power.
Previously, CBT News reported on a similar-sized truck recall last year, when Ford recalled 103,174 F-150 pickups over rear axle hub bolts that could break.
Ford also remains under a 2024 consent order with NHTSA that includes a $165 million penalty and independent oversight of its recall process. The order followed the agency’s finding that Ford failed to promptly recall vehicles with defective rearview cameras. In August, Ford hired longtime NHTSA official David Hines as chief auto safety officer to oversee global product safety compliance.
