What's recalled

Component: Electrical system (instrument cluster/panel)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Bronco and Bronco Sport vehicles. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) may fail at startup.

The risk

An instrument panel display that does not show critical information, such as warning lights or vehicle speed, increases the risk of a crash.

Status: NHTSA lists Dec 4, 2025 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.

Ford recall number 25SC3
