What’s wrong with my gauge cluster? Different Font Used?

[honorarysail]

hey everyone! bought a used 2021 ford bronco big bend with 40k miles for around 29k, thought it was a great deal but noticed something peculiar—the gauge cluster text is different from everyone else’s? It came from Canada originally imported into the U.S., so my only hunch is that a faceplate swap to mph was needed? It’s bothering me though because the mph text isn’t fully lit up, any help, insight, or fix is greatly appreciated thank you!

Looks like a different font and the bezel is missing.

Smaller font, more numbers.
Weird that it would be different if its OEM. I would think Canadian Bronco owners would have mentioned this, I'm thinking aftermarket parts.

Exporters have to change the cluster to read MPH when they import them to the States. They must've used an aftermarket cluster or some kind of overlay

Also, you need to get gas.

Consider it a rare option. The analog speedo is worthless. I NEVER look at mine. I think in time you'll find your rare gauge doesn't bother you, unless you're in the 1% that reads the analog speedo instead of the humongous digital one.

But this won't do 120!

Probably from a bronco sport?

WTH? The numbers dont have standard increment. It alternates increasing by 10 and then increasing by 15.
I think you’re right - looks like a faceplate swap to convert kph to mph.

Wow you get 340miles on a tank! I get like 280 at most

If you're interested in upgrading the gauge cluster, Panda Motorworks has a complete plug and play Bronco Raptor cluster. Very cool but expensive.

It's probably kilometers

Looks like a real hack job. I'd check eBay or the boneyards and see if you can find a speedometer cluster.

You probably just figured out that they changed the mileage while they were at it
