2025-2026 Ford Bronco Instrument Cluster May Fail at Startup

Ford is recalling certain 2025-2026 Bronco and Bronco Sport vehicles because the instrument panel cluster may fail at startup, preventing drivers from seeing warning lights and vehicle speed.

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 addresses a failure of the instrument panel cluster, a critical safety system. While no injuries or deaths have been reported, the failure prevents drivers from accessing warning lights and vehicle speed, creating a theoretical risk of crashes. This qualifies as a high-risk condition where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025-2026 Bronco and Bronco Sport vehicles because the instrument panel cluster (IPC) may fail at startup. This failure could prevent the display from showing critical safety information, including warning lights and vehicle speed.

Without access to this critical information, drivers face an increased risk of vehicle crashes, as they would lack essential gauges and warning indicators needed for safe operation.
