Thread regarding Ford layoffs

BEV vehicles will not have issues like this due to no fossil fuels aboard the vehicle.

Just saying.

Did the engineer that made my 2005 Ford Focus that runs good, no problems retire or something?

Well, the UAW can do no wrong, the suppliers can do no wrong, and the techs at the dealerships are as honest as they can be.

It is the engineer's fault. RTO!!

Ford is expanding and issuing a new recall for 125,000 sport utility vehicles and trucks because engine failures may cause a fire, the automaker announced Tuesday.

The recall is an expansion from a July 2022 recall of 100,000 Escape, Corsair and Maverick trucks in the U.S. following 23 reported incidents of fire or smoke stemming from a suspected block or oil pan breach.

Also on Tuesday, Ford confirmed reports of at least three vehicles that suffered fires after getting the 2022 recall repairs.

Ford said the new recall fix is under development and will include various Escape and Lincoln Corsair SUVs and Maverick compact pickup trucks from the 2020 to 2023 model years with 2.5L hybrid or plug-in hybrid engines, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Isolated engine manufacturing issues can cause the engine to fail prematurely and subsequently release engine oil or fuel vapor, increasing the risk of fire and injury, according to Ford.

Meanwhile, both Ford and the NHTSA are advising owners to park and shut off the engine if they hear unexpected engine noises, notice a reduction in vehicle power, or see smoke.

Last week, Ford said it was recalling 142,000 Lincoln MKC SUVs in the U.S. due to fire risks and advised owners to park outside and away from structures until the recall repair is complete.

Better call Sam!

Take your Ford camping. You won't need chemical fire starters.

FIRE OR RECALL DAILY

Looks like the earlier ICA was just that… no PCA, and none forthcoming until the 4th quarter apparently.
Well, throw that 14D into the trash bin.
