Another day, another recall for Ford, honestly we’ve lost count of how many there have been in these last years. This time, the brand has announced that it will recall almost 335,000 F-series trucks because of a problem in the instrument panel when these vehicles start up, so it makes it difficult for drivers to see important information such as the speed or the fuel levels of the vehicle.
The brand assures that the problem only affects 1% of the cars and that there are no accidents reported for now. But for the NHTSA, any error in a vehicle, no matter how small, is serious.
Which models are on the list?
The two models included in this recall are:
F-150
F-550 Super Duty
F-450 Super Duty
F-350 Super Duty
F-250 Super Duty
All models from the years 2025 and 2026.
The NHTSA has already given the notice
The official notice has been issued, and the users warned. For now, the error can be fixed through an online update or by going to the dealership.
Recall + recall = Ford
It seems like Ford wants to take all the recalls in the market, and they have the annual record of recalls with 39%. Just this year!!! There have been 105 error campaigns that highlighted withdrawals due to electrical systems (23) and powertrain problems (11).
What should owners do?
Wait and verify that your vehicle is not included in one of the 105 recalls that Ford has issued this year, try putting the VIN code of your vehicle on the official NHTSA website. You can see the VIN number on your car’s windshield, then you search your number and see if your vehicle is included in a recall.
What about the brand’s image?
Despite all this mess, Ford’s shares have not collapsed. In fact, they have gone up 20% so far in 2025, which we also cannot explain. Ford keeps winning in the United States (because it is a home product) and that, for now, is helping them weather the storm.
In the second quarter they managed to bring in 50.2 billion dollars and exceeded the expectations of the entire sector, no wonder.
And what about the tariffs?
Trump has put a base tax of 25% on imported cars and parts, which makes things complicated for any manufacturer that depends on the outside. But Ford, although not exempt, has an advantage: it makes around 80% of its vehicles in the U.S., as we said, local product.
Even so, they still need components that come from outside, and that will cost them. Ford’s own CEO, Jim Farley, explained in an interview with CNBC that, although most of their production is local, they still import parts from all over the world.
Even so, Farley hinted that the White House is being quite understanding with companies like his. According to him, the Trump administration is determined to support manufacturers that continue betting on producing inside the country.
That said, among consumers serious doubts are starting to appear. Because one thing is if it happens once. But when the failures pile up and affect different models and essential functions… it’s normal for people to start wondering if Ford is more focused on producing quickly than on doing things right.
This new recall makes it clear that Ford is going through a delicate moment in terms of quality and safety… If they don’t manage to change that perception soon, the damage to customer trust may be much harder to repair than any error…
