Ford is recalling 102,159 F-Series trucks because the analog speedometer and tachometer can stick or swing on their own, feeding drivers inaccurate readings. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posted campaign 26V653 this week, tied to a faulty module inside the instrument cluster.

The affected range covers certain heavy-duty trucks built for the 2025 and 2026 model years and light-duty trucks from the 2026 model year. Owner notification letters go out starting October 26, and Ford plans to have replacement parts available in a December 7–11 window.

Recall 26C46 covers select 2025 and 2026 F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 Super Duty trucks, along with 2026 F-150 and F-750 Super Duty models. Ford has not flagged every truck built in that window, only units that received a specific instrument cluster supplier batch.

The Super Duty and F-600 models account for 91,588 of the recalled trucks, by far the bulk of the campaign, while the 2026 F-150 adds another 10,570 units to the total. The fix is to replace the affected instrument cluster modules rather than perform unrelated repairs on other systems.

Fleet managers running mixed Super Duty and F-150 rosters should check every truck in the window separately, since the two lines draw from different production runs. Owners can confirm their status through Ford's VIN lookup tool or NHTSA's recall site using campaign number 26V653.

This is far from Ford's only safety campaign this year. The automaker has also had to recall vehicles for disengaging transmissions and a fuel tank defect on F-150 trucks .
