What's wrong?
The instrument panel cluster in the 2019 Navigator, Mkx, and Mustang is the screen and gauge unit in front of the driver. It loads software at start-up so the vehicle can show required driver information, including the controls and displays covered by the federal standard.
On these vehicles, the earlier recall repair for the cluster software was not installed correctly on every included VIN. The cluster uses memory chips and software to load the data needed to run the display. When that load fails at key-on, the instrument panel cluster stays blank instead of showing the driver the information it is supposed to show.
What you notice happens before the trip starts. This condition occurs only at key-on, before vehicle operation, so the warning sign is a blank cluster display when the vehicle is started.

What's the safety risk?
A blank instrument cluster can hide vehicle speed and safety system warnings, increasing crash risk. The condition happens at key-on, before vehicle operation, so confirm the cluster is working before moving and call the dealer if it stays blank. Repair will be free at any franchised Lincoln dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Navigator, Mkx, or Mustang is included in this recall.
- Wait for Lincoln's owner letter expected July 6, 2026 before scheduling unless a franchised Lincoln dealer confirms the repair is open.
- Call Lincoln customer service at 1-866-436-7332 with questions and reference recall number 26V372 and Lincoln recall 26C27.
- Ask the dealer about the IPC software reprogramming that restores the instrument cluster display for speed and safety warnings.
- Bring the recall notice if Lincoln has mailed one, or give the dealer recall number 26V372 when you call.
- Use extra caution at start-up if the instrument cluster display is blank, and do not rely on a blank display for speed or warning information.
