Official summary
Some 2017-2019 Continental vehicles may exhibit the user customizable personalization settings in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) reverting to their default settings. This may include IPCs set to languages other than English reverting back to English. This may be due to the characteristics of the software in the IPC. To correct the condition, reprogram the IPC using the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
