It s very stranged that no one as any explanations. Does the dash need to be changed in each car or not ?Just tooled around on autotrader and any v8 I saw with interior pictures had the old red line
I highly doubt that such an "error" was introduced on every car and known that future (and costly) replacement would be required.It s very stranged that no one as any explanations. Does the dash need to be changed in each car or not ?
Don't worry. Ford will probably just have dealers use a Sharpy on the clear plastic to cross out the wrong red line and draw in a new one.I don't know what it could involv to change the dash. But if there is a lot of screws etc... i will be afraid of rattles that could appear
So the digital speedo is there? That is an important piece of information to understand what they did. If it is there then either they are left over clusters that had the digital speedo enabled or it is a new cluster with the same RPM face from the 15-17 cars.Still no news on this. Ford Canada try to have a answer and it seem like they have a hard time getting to the good guy to get the info.
My car arrive in a few days. It's a retail custom order. I am pretty sure it will have the old gage.
It is about the wrong red line but also on every package except 100A and 300A the new gauge have a hallow ring around the Speedo and tach that can be custom colored. We pay every bit of money so we should get all the updated parts. By the way it's the first time Ford do something like this for Canadians customers
As far as digital Speedo it is display on the center screen so that still be there .
I think we should care. My 2016 has a dash plate that says "CALIFORNIA SPECIAL". If it didn't say that, as silly as it sounds, it would bother me. I paid for a 2016 Cali Special and I want what the MY2016 brochure says I am supposed to get. When we spend a shit load of money on a car, we should expect to get what was advertized. Is there anything wrong with getting what you are supposed to get....I don't think so...:shrug:.Probably getting older clusters. Ford probably had a ton of them left over and isn't going to simply throw them away.
Big deal.
It's not weird, it's not unusual, it's not out of the ordinary. It's simply big business. Stuff like this happens and has happened as long as the automobile has been built.
This is actually pretty minor in the grand scheme of things and Ford was probably hoping nobody would really care.
The engine makes 460hp and revs to 7,400. Who cares what the gauge reads?
