The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received the recall report on Oct. 6, 2026, and lists 102,159 vehicles as potentially affected across the whole campaign.
According to the NHTSA recall record, the analog cluster's tachometer and speedometer may become stuck or move erratically, providing inaccurate readings to the driver.

NHTSA lists the recall as campaign 26V-653 (26V653000), with the electrical system's instrument cluster/panel as the component.

Corrections
- : This page showed a "Park outside" badge in error. NHTSA's record for this recall has no park-outside advisory, as the article said. The badge came from our page template, not the source, and has been removed.
- : This page's summary panel and story image showed one model-year span, 2025-2026, for every model in this recall. NHTSA's record covers the 2025-2026 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 and F-600 Super Duty and the 2026 F-150 and F-750 Super Duty. The summary panel now shows each model's years, and the story image no longer shows a single span.
