Ford (F) Issues Recall for 2017-18 GT Cars in North America
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ford Motor Company (F - Free Report) is recalling roughly 200 of its 2017-18 GT vehicles due to hydraulic fluid leakage. Fluid leakage from valves placed under the car’s rear part may catch fire, when making contact with exhaustion.
Roughly 194 of the affected vehicles are in North America, with 176 in the United States and 18 in Canada. All the vehicles were manufactured between December 2016 and July 2018. In Germany, one incident associated with this fault was reported, with no injuries.
Dealers will update software to the vehicle’s controller, thus, eliminating risk of extreme pressure in the valve. If required, in a few cars, a hydraulic check valve will be installed, and o-rings and filter will be replaced.
With a price of about $400,000, Ford’s GT is counted among expensive vehicles offered by the company. The model’s production is limited to only around 250 vehicles a year. Praised for its engineering and performance, GT has 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine and top speed of 216 miles an hour.
This is not the first recall that Ford has announced in the past few months. In September, the company announced a recall of 2-million F-150 pickup trucks in North America. Problematic seat belts in pickup trucks, which can result in fire, led to the recall.
Price Performance
In the past six months, Ford’s stock has lost 22%, underperforming 12.4% decrease recorded by the industry it belongs to.
