The short answer
NHTSA received Ford Motor Company’s report on Aug 8, 2025. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
An instrument panel display that does not show critical information, such as warning lights or vehicle speed, increases the risk of a crash.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling one 2024 Mustang vehicle that was repaired incorrectly under recall 24V802.
The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) may not illuminate at startup or while driving.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, “Control and Displays” and 102, “Transmission shift lever sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect.”
