Some of the clusters have gone blank on customers, so they recalled a certain run of them.
Campaign/NHTSA#
23C25/23V506
Issue Date
2023-07-21
Description
On your vehicle, the instrument panel cluster ipc screen may be blank. You may not have access to driver information communicated through the ipc display, including vehicle speed, transmission shift position, warnings, and telltales.
Safety Risk
Failure to illuminate the instrument panel cluster renders safety related telltales and gauges unreadable, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Parts are now available to repair your vehicle. Depending on your vehicle, Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to either replace the ipc or the instrument panel cluster module.
Next Steps
Contact your local dealer and schedule a maintenance appointment. To find your local dealer, use the "find a dealer" feature below.

Even after the recall work, there is only the compass and no temp in the cluster. I've got temp in the HUD and the Sync 4 screen. The compass in the cluster seems tiny too.

You could always switch brands if the compass is that big of a deal.

lack of temperature display in IPC I think is more of a threat to safety (imo). If you use CarPlay, there is no temp display on center screen. Kind of important to know if the roads you are driving on are about to freeze, or are below temperature for chemical treatments to work ect. I installed an idash to display this. It's frustrating with all this screen real estate to not have this information always displayed, or configurable.

Call it what you want. Is there a difference driving in rain at 34° vs 25°? Would ne nice to know.
If apple put a temperature display in CarPlay, that would work, but optimum solution would be vehicle outside air temperature on the display. The truck already knows it.

My phone has a weather widget on the home screen. I can see if it is going to be below freezing ahead of time and I can see if it is hovering around freezing currently. You are creating a problem that doesn't exist.

How did people ever survive ice and freezing rain before there was thermometer in their vehicle?
