Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Ford Mustang, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 19V076. At vehicle start-up, the Instrument Panel Cluster Assembly (IPC) may not function, showing a blank display. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."
A blank instrument cluster that fails to display critical safety information, such as vehicle speed or safety system warnings, increases the risk of a crash.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Lincoln Nautilus vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 19V031. The lane center assist system may not adequately detect if a driver has their hands off the steering wheel for a prolonged period of time.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, MKX, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank image, or the image may remain on the display after the backing event has ended.
A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.

Ford Motor Company, Inc. (Ford) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2019-2020 Nautilus vehicles equipped with 16-way electric tilt seats. The seat cushion frame edge may contact the wire harness when the seat occupant uses the tilt function of the seat, potentially damaging one or more wires within the harness, which can result in either inadvertent deployment of the air bag or nondeployment of the air bag in the event of a crash.
An air bag that deploys inadvertently increases the risk of a crash. An air bag that does not deploy in the event of a crash increases the risk of injury.

I WAS DRIVING ON 3/22/19 AT A SPEED OF 55. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APROX 30 MIN WHEN MY ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DARK. IT STAYED DARK FOR 2 MIN AND THEN CAME BACK ON AND KIND OF RE-BOOTED ITSELF.
STARTED CAR AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS BLACKED OUT. RESTATING CAR DID NOT CORRECT IT SO HAD NO VISIBILITY TO ANYTHING FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY.
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE HILL START ASSIST AND FORWARD COLLISION WARNING BOTH FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. FOLLOWING THAT, WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. THIS DISABLES THE VIEW OF ANY OF THE CONTROL PANEL NOTIFICATIONS, ALONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHILE THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL IS DISABLED, THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT FAILURE NOTIFICATION APPEARS SEVERAL TIMES. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SEEM TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, IT TYPICALLY TAKES 24 HOURS BEFORE THE FUNCTION RETURNS.
TRANSMISSION JERKS DURING AUTOMATIC SHIFTING AND AT SLOW SPEEDS ACCELERATES FORWARD. DEALER SAYS FORD IS AWARE AND THEY CAN'T REPAIR. OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE.
