2025 F350 XLT Tremor - no recall for my VIN on this one. *phew*

Because it has given zero indication of any glitchy analog dash cluster behavior. As @mojorbison alludes to, it's nice having an old-school needle swingin' in an arc.

What else is nice about this old truck (lol) is I get to stick an actual key into not just a steering column lock, but directly into the dashboard!

But, wait. The NHTSA warns:

• Some recently announced safety recalls for which not all VINs have been identified. VINs are added continuously so please check regularly.
