Ford, Hostess, and Taylor Farms have issued recalls this week affecting vehicles, snack cakes, and salad kits due to safety concerns ranging from faulty dashboard displays to mold contamination and undeclared allergens.
Ford Motor Company Recall
Ford is recalling approximately 355,656 vehicles, including 2025-2026 F-550 SD, F-450 SD, F-350 SD, F-250 SD, and 2025 F-150 models, due to potential Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) failure at startup. This issue may prevent critical information, such as warning lights or vehicle speed, from displaying, increasing crash risk.
Ford dealers will update the IPC software or deliver an over-the-air (OTA) update at no cost. Owner notification letters will be mailed on September 2, 2025. Contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 (recall number 25S88) for details.
