Ford Issues Two Safety Compliance Recalls in North America
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ford Motor Company (F - Free Report) has issued two safety compliance recalls in North America. The recall will affect roughly 3,000 vehicles in the region.
One safety recall has been issued for 2017 Ford F-150, Explorer and Super Duty vehicles for inadequate welds in driver-seat back frames. In the affected vehicles, a driver-seat back frame that has been improperly welded may fail to comply with certain federal motor vehicle safety standards and may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Roughly 2,418 vehicles have been recalled regarding this.
The other recall is related to Ford aftermarket chrome exterior door-handle covers. The company has recalled some 2015-17 Ford F-150 and 2017 F-250 to F-550 vehicles equipped with these covers that were purchased as an accessory component from a Ford dealer.
In the affected vehicles, the exterior door handle may not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards and may experience inertial loads that could cause it to unlatch during a side impact, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Roughly 551 vehicles have been recalled regarding this issue.
Ford is not aware of any injuries associated with either issue.
The company has been recalling its vehicles regularly to fix safety issues. Frequent product recalls not only reduce consumers’ confidence in a brand, but also add to expenses.
Ford has underperformed the Zacks categorized Auto Manufacturers-Domestic industry over the last three months. The company’s shares decreased 13.4% over this period, while the industry saw a 2.5% decline. Increasing recalls, concerns in certain end markets and lower-than-expected earnings are adversely affecting share performance.
Adient has expected long-term growth rate of 10.6%.

Zacks has just released a Special Report on the booming investment opportunities of legal marijuana. Ignited by new referendums and legislation, this industry is expected to blast from an already robust $6.7 billion to $20.2 billion in 2021. Early investors stand to make a killing, but you have to be ready to act and know just where to look. See the pot trades we're targeting>>
