What's wrong?
The instrument panel cluster in a 2022-2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid is the screen and gauge area in front of the driver. It shows speed, gear position, warning lights, and other information the driver needs before and during a trip. Ford updated this cluster under an earlier recall because the display has to meet federal rules for controls, gauges, warning lights, and gear position information.
On some Mavericks, the earlier dealer software repair did not install the correct instrument panel cluster software. The service tool was supposed to load Ford's intended remedy package, but it sent the wrong software to the vehicle. That leaves the cluster without the remedy software from the prior recall, so warning lights or gauges do not illuminate as required.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner sees the problem only if the cluster does not show a required light, gauge, or gear-position indication when the vehicle is in use.
Who's affected?
Covers two Maverick model years using the same instrument-panel software.
| 2023 Ford Maverick | instrument panel |
|---|---|
| 2022 Ford Maverick | instrument panel |
| Units affected | 933 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the instrument panel goes dark, you lose key safety information such as vehicle speed and warning lights. That makes it harder to react to a problem and increases the risk of a crash. Schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Ford Maverick is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free instrument panel cluster software update that restores warning lights and gauges.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V123 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the software update is complete, and watch for missing speedometer information, gauges, or warning lights.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician updates the instrument panel cluster software so the warning lights and gauges display correctly. The software update and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid for this software related repair before the recall notice, keep your invoice and repair documentation. Ford's recall reimbursement plan covers eligible owner paid repairs, so ask Ford customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit the paperwork.
