Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2019 Ford Mustang, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly (IPC) which may fail to function at vehicle start-up, resulting in a blank display. This issue causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."
A blank instrument cluster prevents the driver from seeing important information, including vehicle speed, fuel or temperature levels, and safety system warnings. Driving with an inoperative cluster can increase the risk of a crash.
Ford has notified owners, and dealers will reprogram the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly (IPC) free of charge. The recall began on March 8, 2019. Owners may contact customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
