What's wrong?
The instrument panel cluster assembly in the 2019 Mustang, Nautilus, and Navigator is the screen and gauge unit directly in front of the driver. It shows speed, warning lamps, gear information, and other controls-and-displays information the driver uses before and during a trip. The cluster depends on its memory chip and graphics processor loading the display data correctly when the vehicle wakes up.
On affected vehicles, the supplier found a timing problem between the 2GB memory chip and the graphics processor during high-temperature testing. At start-up, the cluster can fail to load the data needed to run the display. When that happens, the screen stays blank instead of showing the information required for normal operation.
The warning sign is immediate. This condition occurs only at key-on, before the vehicle is driven, so the driver sees the blank cluster at start-up.
Who's affected?
Covers 3 nameplates in the 2019 model year, all tied to the same instrument panel component.
| 2019 Ford Mustang | instrument panel |
|---|---|
| 2019 Lincoln Nautilus | instrument panel |
| 2019 Lincoln Navigator | instrument panel |
| Units affected | 4,212 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
A matching 2019 model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A blank instrument cluster leaves you without vehicle speed, fuel level, temperature level, and safety system warnings. Driving without that information increases crash risk. This condition appears at key on before driving, so check the cluster before moving the vehicle and schedule the recall repair if the display is blank. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Ford Mustang, Lincoln Nautilus, or Lincoln Navigator is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free IPC software update that fixes the blank instrument cluster display.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V076 and Ford recall 19C03 when you call.
- Avoid driving with a blank instrument cluster because it hides speed, fuel, temperature, and safety-warning information.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician reprograms the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly so the cluster display works properly at vehicle start. The software update and labor are free under the recall. Ford is not providing a separate reimbursement program because the original warranty program covers this concern with a free repair. If you have prior paperwork for a related instrument cluster repair, ask the service desk how the original warranty coverage applies.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V076?
Recall 19V076 covers 4,212 2019 Ford Mustang, 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, and 2019 Lincoln Navigator vehicles with an instrument panel cluster that can stay blank at start-up. The display loss hides speed, fuel, temperature, and safety warnings. Ford dealers will reprogram the cluster for free.
What should I do if my 2019 Ford Mustang, 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, or 2019 Lincoln Navigator is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 19V076. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the instrument panel cluster reprogramming. Reference recall number 19V076 and Ford recall number 19C03 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Ford dealers will reprogram the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly free of charge for vehicles included in recall 19V076.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is losing important driver information from the instrument cluster. A blank display will not show vehicle speed, fuel level, temperature level, or safety system warnings. Driving with that display inoperative increases the risk of a crash, so confirm your VIN and schedule the free repair.
What if I bought this vehicle used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. If you bought a 2019 Ford Mustang, 2019 Lincoln Nautilus, or 2019 Lincoln Navigator used, check your VIN and reference recall 19V076 when you call a franchised Ford dealer.
