Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 Ford Transit vehicles. The instrument panel cluster may not properly illuminate telltales, gauges, speedometer, and tachometer pointers. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 101, 102, 105, and 208.
