Ford F-150: Lights and Instruments
Affects Ford F-150 · 2017 — about 1K vehicles.
The hazard
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 102 - Transmission Control Functions. Immediately after an engine start-up in cold ambient temperatures, operators may experience a loss of instrument cluster display functionality, including the loss of PRNDL illumination, jittering gauge pointers and flashing on/off warning lights. This could result in the instrument panel cluster not illuminating and not displaying the selected transmission gear position, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster. Note: An inoperative instrument panel cluster may also prevent the activation of certain warning chimes, messages and warning lights.
