FWIW I had my gear numbers disappear once and I switched it over to manual mode and they came back. Not sure if it works every time, but a possible workaround.
If anyone would bother to read the recall notice they would see it is for 6 speed transmissions.
Talked to a Ford friend. The Gear Position Indicator issue that is subject to the recall is not the 1-10 shift indicator. It's the P-R-N-D-M-etc indicator. The shift indicator disappearing wouldn't and doesn't impact FSS compliance =)
