What's wrong, in plain English
Ford is recalling certain Mustang, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles because the instrument panel cluster may not work properly when the vehicle starts, leaving the display blank. When this happens, the driver cannot see important information such as vehicle speed, fuel level, engine temperature, or safety system warning lights on the dashboard. Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster so it works correctly again, free of charge.
