A proposito di questo titolo
Ford Motor Company just shattered a decadeold recall record, issuing 152 safety alerts in 2025 alone, topping General Motors 2014 mark of 77, according to Fox Business and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. Recent filings hit hard, like last weeks software glitch in 87 Escape and Maverick Hybrids, plus headlight failures in over 45,000 Mustang MachE units and detaching panels in nearly 7,000 Mavericks. Ford insists its doubled safety team and quickfix strategy prioritizes customers, but whispers of quality woes linger amid millions affected.
Strategically, Ford dropped a 19.5 billion dollar bombshell charge to slash unprofitable EV bets, canceling the all electric F150 Lightning production and pivoting assembly lines to a hot new extendedrange hybrid pickup, per LA Times and Nasdaq reports. This range extender EREV promises electric punch with a gas generator to kill range anxiety, fitting Fords goal of half global sales electrified by 2030 via hybrids and affordable EVs on its Universal platform aiming breakeven by 2029. On December 15, Marklines says Ford expanded its CATL battery pact for the Blue Oval Battery Park, now eyeing energy storage production too, a savvy sidestep from pure EV flops.
Stock buzzed up 34 to 38 percent in 2025, fueled by Ford Pro commercial strength and hybrid surge, though analysts hold at 12 dollar targets amid tariff hits and Q4 sales dips, AInvest notes. FSeries trucks notched 49 straight years as Americas bestseller, topping 800,000 sales with PowerBoost hybrid leading, Ford boasts. CEO Jim Farley sparred with Senator Ted Cruz over a looming January affordability hearing, Dealership Guy reports, as USMC agreement reviews and Trump trade talks stir dealer nerves. Patents tease future perks like configurable media consoles and group travel guidance, Ford Authority hints. Dividend holds at 4.5 percent yield, but cash strains from supplier fires and EV writedowns loom for 2026. Fords highwire act mixes bold resets with recall drama, eyes locked on hybrid dominance.
