Official summary

Some 2025 Ranger vehicles equipped with a 12-inch instrument panel cluster (IPC) may exhibit a condition where the IPC backlight and shift indicator remains illuminated after the vehicle is turned off. This may be due to the software in the IPC. To correct the condition, using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool, download and run the "IPC-Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Software Update" application.

Vehicles covered

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
