Ford Breaks General Motors’ Record

For most recalls
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Ford has issued 89 recalls in the first six months of 2025. That number surpasses the annual record for recalls by an individual manufacturer – and we’re only in July. For dealers and customers alike, the need to attend to the various issues related to the 88 recalls has caused immense frustration.
Ford’s 2025 recall count is more than the next five automakers combine.

Those TVM actions are paying off.

@es

I don't know. There's probably someone out there that wants to believe you. But year after year saying that quality is job #1, then having it obviously not be. How about the next slogan to boost quality: "How about we su-k less?"

@es I watched that B.S. video with Doug and Kumar. If you believe that spin than I have some beachfront property in Nevada to sell you.

For those that are actually Ford employees and not just trolls, DF released a candid and in-depth video that focuses on quality and recalls.

Be sure to watch as soon as you can this important message. You will learn the truth on this topic. Highly recommend.

I remember Jim Hacket' big push to move lab testing to CAE and virtually eliminate building prototype vehicles for testing. This works great for furniture but not so much for passenger vehicles.

Just another example of the damage that happens several years after bad decisions are made by the person (s) running the organization leaves.

I don’t think this is due to carrying for the customers, as presented, but due to NHTSA watchdog and less ability to hide the problems

@be

A couple of weeks ago I would have agreed with you on the one thing. But now I dont. The 'second' thing is now the power trip they seek.....via the badge swipe ridiculousness.

Our PD costs are directly related to the fact we spend 80% of engineering time navigating the outright brainless processes we have to deliver a component or system to a vehicle program.
The icing on the cake is the internal tools we use are garbage.
I am done at the end of 2025.

The sycophantic leadership at Ford only cares about one thing: cost and sales.

Why? Because that's what drives their paychecks and fat bonuses. Cutting costs looks great on paper, at least in the short term and they get rewarded fast. But those cuts come at a steep price, quality takes a nosedive, and the long-term damage is catastrophic.

It's a fake solution dressed up as smart strategy, but all it really does is pad executive bonuses while setting the company up for failure. And when the tidal wave of quality issues inevitably hits, guess what? They point fingers everywhere but the mirror.

Don't worry, the guys in Long Beach have the experience needed to make a defect free vehicle.
