"They still have the problem that the Ford family runs it. They had over a hundred recalls last year and management's contention is those recalls are all old. Those are cars from years ago when we didn't care about quality. That's not the case."
"They've had a bunch of recalls so far this year. Their total is over 2 million and some of those things are last year's model. So they can't simply walk around and say the quality of [their vehicles is improving]."
Ford Motor Company announced a recall of over 83,000 vehicles, adding to persistent quality control problems that have accumulated to over 2 million recalls this year. The company's inconsistent approach to electric vehicles, combined with recurring manufacturing issues, has raised investor concerns about leadership effectiveness. Management attributes recalls to older model years, but recent recalls involve current-year vehicles, contradicting this explanation. The Ford family's continued control of the company is cited as a structural problem limiting operational stability. Analysts question how long investors should maintain patience with the company before seeking alternative leadership and reconsidering their positions.
