2024 Ford Mustang Instrument Cluster May Not Illuminate Properly

The Instrument Panel Cluster in certain 2024 Ford Mustang vehicles may not illuminate at startup or while driving, preventing drivers from seeing critical information like warning lights and vehicle speed. Ford will update the software at no charge.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall meets the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where no injuries have been reported. The instrument panel is safety-critical, and its failure directly increases crash risk by preventing drivers from viewing essential vehicle information.

Plain-English summary
