Recalls come in "threes?"

Safety recall for select 2020 Ford Mustang vehicles
Affected vehicles are equipped with a brake pedal bracket that could fracture during sudden stopping. During a sudden stop, the driver may experience a loss of primary braking capability that could increase the risk of an accident.

Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

This action affects 38,005 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 2,251 in Canada and 322 in Mexico. Affected vehicles were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant from March 4, 2019, to Aug. 13, 2020.

Dealers will replace the brake pedal bracket assembly. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S52.

Safety recall for select 2019 Ford F-Series Super Duty vehicles
Affected F-250 and F-350 vehicles are equipped with front axles that may contain a wheel end yoke that was not properly welded to the axle tube end. An improperly welded attachment may cause steering effects that could impact vehicle control. This may include pulling to the right or left, misalignment of the steering wheel or change in steering sensitivity that could affect the response of the vehicle to driver input during a hard-braking event, increasing risk of a crash.

Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.

This action affects 9,628 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories and 961 in Canada. Affected vehicles were built at Kentucky Truck Plant from Aug. 24 to Oct. 16, 2019.

Dealers will replace the axle assembly if the weld is found to be inaccurately located. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S56.

Management changes today is like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

Nothing with the lofty Ford Purchasing team that is behind so many of our challenges as they keep alienating the supply base? Interesting.

You forgot a big one announced this week.

Affected vehicles were built from late 2019 to mid-2020 and include the Escape, Explorer, and Expedition SUVs; F-150, Ranger, and Super Duty pickups; and Edge, Mustang, and Transit. Lincoln Corsair, MKX, and Nautilus vehicles are also included.

I thought this is what the core team does all day: prevent recalls.

I guess its true, Ford cars and trucks all say fix or repair daily on them. Conveniently located on the blue colored oval.
