Ford is recalling more than 102,000 pickup trucks in the United States after discovering a fault that could cause their speedometers and rev counters to display incorrect readings while driving.
The recall affects 102,159 vehicles, including the Ford F-150 and several models from the larger Super Duty range. According to documents filed with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the problem involves analogue instrument clusters that can become stuck or behave erratically.
Most of the affected vehicles are from Ford’s Super Duty range, with 91,588 examples of the F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 and F-600 included. These were built for the 2025 and 2026 model years.
A further 10,570 Ford F-150 pickups from the 2026 model year are affected, along with a single 2026 F-750 truck.
The main concern is that drivers could be travelling faster or slower than their speedometer suggests. Unlike some vehicle faults, there’s no warning light to alert the driver when the problem occurs.
However, trucks fitted with both analogue and digital speed displays may show different readings, giving owners a clue that something isn’t working properly.
Fortunately, Ford says it hasn’t received any reports of accidents linked to the fault. By 16 September, the manufacturer had identified 18 warranty reports and 93 field reports relating to the issue.
Owners won’t have to pay for the repair, although there will be a short wait before replacement parts become available.
Ford expects to notify affected owners by 30 October 2026, with replacement instrument clusters expected to arrive in early December. A further notification explaining when repairs can be carried out is planned by 11 December.
Once parts are available, Ford and Lincoln dealerships will replace the faulty instrument clusters free of charge.
Anyone concerned that their truck might be affected can contact a Ford dealership or check their vehicle’s recall status using its VIN through the NHTSA recall checker.
The recall is currently focused on vehicles sold in the United States.
