Ford (F) Recalls Basically a Whole Year's Worth of Vehicles
Briefly

Ford has recently announced a staggering recall of nearly 1.5 million vehicles within just ten days, representing around 75% of its annual U.S. sales. Despite a notable 16% increase in May sales, the company's EV sales dropped by 25%, highlighting ongoing quality and reliability issues that have tarnished their earnings potential and investor trust. Analysts suggest that the stock could trade 30-40% higher if warranty-related costs were not a factor, but persistent concerns about reliability continue to hinder Ford's market valuation, impacting not only the manufacturer but also its dealerships.
