Ford's $480M Trading Volume (177th) Amid 355K Truck Recall for Display Failures

Ford Motor Co. (F) rose 0.59% on 2025-08-27 with a trading volume of $480 million, ranking 177th in market activity. The automaker announced a recall of 355,656 Super Duty and F-150 trucks due to instrument panel display failures that may leave critical data—such as speed, warning lights, and fuel levels—unavailable at startup. The issue affects 2025–2026 models, with 95 warranty claims reported but no injuries or accidents linked to the defect. Ford will offer free over-the-air software updates or dealer visits to resolve the issue.

The recall follows a broader pattern of increased product corrections at Ford, including 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles recalled for fuel injector issues in July 2025. Chief Operating Officer Kumar Galhotra stated that the rise in recalls reflects the company’s “intensive strategy” to address hardware and software flaws rapidly. The IPC software at fault was deployed in June 2024 and removed in July 2025. Notifications to owners are expected to begin in early September.

Owners will receive free software updates via dealers or over-the-air delivery, with Ford advising affected drivers to avoid operating vehicles until the fix is applied. The automaker emphasized convenience for customers through remote updates and has arranged free towing for vehicles unable to be driven safely. This recall adds to Ford’s 94 recalls in 2025, impacting over 6.3 million vehicles—the highest number at the NHTSA this year.
