ISSUE
Some 2012 Focus vehicles built on or before 8/16/2011 and equipped with 2 inch (5 cm) instrument cluster (IC) message center display showing dark horizontal lines in the message center and/or accompanied by an intermittent sticking or erratic fuel gauge. The concern may be intermittent and may clear after a few minutes. The distance-to-empty (DTE) reading is not affected by this concern.
ACTION
Reprogram the IC module to the latest calibration using IDS release 76.03 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2011.11 DVD. Calibration and IDS patch files may also be obtained at the website.
