2024 Ford Mustang Instrument Cluster Software Update Recall

Ford is recalling one 2024 Mustang that was incorrectly repaired, causing the instrument panel cluster to not illuminate during operation. This prevents drivers from seeing warning lights and vehicle speed, increasing crash risk. Owners should contact Ford service for a free software update.

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: The recall involves a safety-critical system (instrument panel cluster) whose failure prevents drivers from seeing warning lights and vehicle speed, creating a significant crash risk. However, no actual injuries or accidents have been reported in connection with this defect.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling one 2024 Ford Mustang that was incorrectly repaired under a previous recall (24V802). The vehicle's Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) may fail to illuminate at startup or during driving.

The failed instrument panel means the driver cannot see critical safety information, including warning lights and vehicle speed. This violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 101 and 102. The inability to view this information increases the risk of a crash.

One vehicle is affected by this recall. Owners will receive notification letters (as of September 12, 2025). Dealers will perform a free software update to the instrument panel cluster. Owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or reference Ford recall number 25C35.
