Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 45 of its 2025 Ranger trucks because the instrument panel was configured incorrectly. This defect prevents critical warning lights and gauges from displaying, including those for forward collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, traction control, and stability control. Additionally, gauges for fuel levels, distance to empty, and fuel economy may not provide accurate readings. Dealers will provide a free software update to correct the instrument panel configuration.
A dashboard that fails to clearly display critical safety information or vehicle alerts prevents the driver from being aware of potential system failures, which increases the risk of a crash.
