Ford is recalling 229,609 U.S. vehicles — 101,002 Ford Broncos and 128,607 Bronco Sports from model years 2025–2026 — because the instrument panel may fail to display at startup, leaving drivers without critical safety information and increasing crash risk. NHTSA says owner notification letters begin Dec. 8 and dealers will install a software update at no cost; Ford reports no known injuries. Twin Cities owners can reference NHTSA recall 25V540 and contact local Ford/Lincoln dealers for repairs.
