- Large Recall Scale: Ford has recalled 108,762 vehicles in the U.S., specifically 2020-2022 Escape and 2025 Escape models, due to improperly secured liftgate hinge covers that may detach, indicating potential deficiencies in the company's safety management practices.
- Safety Hazard Resolution: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed that Ford will provide inspections and reinstall or replace any missing hinge covers at no cost to dealers, aiming to reduce accident risks and enhance consumer trust.
- Additional Recall Actions: Furthermore, Ford is recalling nearly 12,000 Lincoln MKT vehicles from 2016-2019 due to the risk of driver and front passenger B-Pillar door trim detachment, further highlighting challenges in the company's product quality control.
- Market Impact Assessment: This recall could negatively affect Ford's brand image and market sales, especially as consumer focus on vehicle safety intensifies, compelling the company to increase investments in quality management to restore market confidence.

Reason
RBC Capital raised the firm's price target on Ford to $12 from $11 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares. The company's strong Q3 results likely benefited from some pull-forward from Q4, but with that said, the recent tariff policy adjustment and fire recovery expected in FY26 should result in numbers moving higher, the analyst tells investors in a research note. RBC adds however that it continues to monitor EV losses, which did worsen in Q3.
