Ford Recalls 499,000 US Vehicles in Latest NHTSA Filings

Ford Motor Co. has filed new safety campaigns with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covering as many as 499,129 vehicles, according to notices posted on Thursday. Two additional filings the same day affect 213,121 and 100,900 vehicles, respectively. Details of the latest defects were not immediately disclosed, but Ford said it will notify owners and dealers will remedy the problems at no cost. The fresh actions follow a separate recall disclosed on Wednesday for more than 355,000 2025-26 F-Series pickup trucks, including F-150 and Super Duty models, whose digital instrument clusters can fail to display speed, warning lights or other critical information, raising the risk of a crash. Software updates are being provided over the air or through dealerships. The spate of recalls adds to the compliance burden facing the automaker as it prepares its 2026 model-year launches.
