Ford recalls 2017 F-150 vehicles over instrument cluster that may lose power in cold temperatures

The instrument cluster may lose power after the vehicle first starts in cold temperatures, so several gauges, including the transmission gear position indicator, may not light up, which raises the risk of a crash or injury.

What to do

Dealers will update the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly (IPC) software free of charge. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and refer to Ford's recall number 26C26.
