2018 Mustang instrument cluster recall...

2018 Ford Mustang vehicles with automatic transmission to update instrument cluster software

• Ford is issuing a safety compliance recall in North America for approximately 2,167 2018 Ford Mustang vehicles with an automatic transmission premium (12.4”) instrument cluster for an illumination issue.
• In the affected vehicles, if an operator turns off the vehicle with the transmission in a position other than park, the instrument cluster may not illuminate the PRNDL display and the operator may not receive the key-in-the-ignition warning chime when the driver’s door is opened, increasing the likelihood of a vehicle rollaway.
• Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue.
• Affected vehicles include 2018 Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, March 14, 2017 to Nov. 26, 2017.
• The recall involves approximately 2,167 vehicles in North America with 2,100 in the U.S. and federalized territories and 67 in Canada. The Ford reference number for this recall is 17C21.
• Dealers will update the instrument cluster software at no cost to the customer.

Tried to pickup my new 2018 GT yesterday (just got here) but it was on a Ford delivery hold because of the recall (the recall just came out) and the dealer can't release it. Ford was indicating mid January for the fix.

Seems odd that it would take them that long to get a fix out given that it sounds like software and they have a fix that has been applied to cars manufactured after 11/26.

Also, the recall oddly includes 2018's built as far back as March. So pre-production cars?

Insert obligatory dig at automatic drivers.
