Not a good sign

Looks like Ford needs to work on their engineering designs and Assembly line.

Look, I’m typically the first to try and interject some humor into what’s going on. But this sounds like a quality blitz to me. They seem to be trying to work on a systemic issue with their quality management system.

Just think what this would look like if it were the aerospace industry....oh wait, Boeing.

It appears that Ford is doing what it needs to be a viable global manufacturer of vehicles. The other US automakers are cheering for changes to emission standards (only in the USA) and neglecting the bigger picture. In 2029 the Trump administration will be handing the reins over. This is just before emission standards globally will change. This will cause US auto manufacturers to scramble, and spend to lower emissions and catch up, otherwise they will only be able to sell cars within the US. Even if the republicans remain in office, many of the bills passed will be overturned.

EU is also starting to pull back on EV and emissions controls. Germany ending these subsidy for EV programs. Sweden and New Zealand have also scrapped their schemes.

Delaying of emissions mandates. The overall requirements direction isn't going to go backwards though.

Reality is exactly the opposite of what you stated, though. Watch this video with Farley touting rolling back emissions standards as a “victory of common sense”.

I think it's worth pointing out that 42 of Ford's 153 recalls in 2025 were for vehicles that were "incorrectly repaired" under a previous recall order (study link). Essentially, there was an issue where the system Ford used for software updates could erroneously report that an update was completed correctly when it was not. A small number of owners thus got their vehicles back after "receiving" recall-related updates that were not in fact completed. Ford uncovered that issue via auditing and had to recall whole batches of vehicles to verify whether they had received previous recall remedies or not.

Ford's been in the doghouse with the NHTSA since being fined in 2024 for "delays" in issuing previous recalls. I think we'll see many more recalls in the next couple years while they're still under heavy scrutiny.
