Ford's Trading Volume Surges 51.98% to $15.76 Billion, Ranking 70th in Market as Recall Concerns Mount

On May 30, 2025, Ford's trading volume reached $15.76 billion, marking a 51.98% increase from the previous day, placing it 70th in the day's stock market rankings. Ford's stock price rose by 1.57%, marking the second consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 2.06% over the past two days.

Ford has announced a recall for 9,181 of its 2025 F-150 pickup trucks due to potential issues with the steering mechanisms, which could lead to failure. This recall is part of a larger trend of recalls for Ford, with over one million vehicles being recalled due to software issues. The brake master cylinder recall, issued on April 14, affects several models, including certain 2017-2018 F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. The F-150 pickups are particularly affected, with over 527,000 vehicles recalled due to a risk of steering shaft bolt failure. Additionally, Ford has recalled almost 10,000 F-150 pickup trucks due to a potential safety issue that could cause drivers to lose control.

These recalls have raised concerns about Ford's quality control and could impact consumer confidence in the brand. The company has stated that a fix for the software issues is coming, but it may not be available until sometime in the third quarter of 2025. Investors will be watching closely to see how Ford handles these recalls and whether they will have a long-term impact on the company's stock price.
