Special Service Message · SSM 55300

This is a Special Service Message, not a recall. SSMs are informational notes Ford sends dealers about a known condition or a change in procedure. They are not repair orders, and they don't by themselves change what is covered.

Published: Oct 29, 2026
Applies to: Bronco Sport: 2026 · Maverick: 2025–2026

Restrictions stated in the source:

• Build dates: built on or before 27-Aug-2026
• Equipment: equipped with an 8-inch instrument panel cluster

Summary (official text)​

Some 2025-2026 Maverick and 2026 Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with an 8-inch instrument panel cluster (IPC) display and built on or before 27-Aug-2026 may exhibit a condition where the fuel gauge displays one mark below the full fuel level when the fuel tank is full. This may be due to the software in the IPC. To correct the condition, download and run the "IPC - Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Software Update" application using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 10849 and labor operations 12651D and IPC.
