## Resource

Ford’s recall troubles keep mounting, with 44 issued this year alone—more than double any other automaker. This week, nearly 550,000 Expeditions (2018–2024) are being recalled for dangerous chrome peeling on the center console, risking cuts. Just a week prior, another recall hit 419,000 Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators for faulty seat belts that won’t retract or extend properly. Ford’s recall history is long and costly—spending nearly $5 billion in repairs last year—and often reacts to external reports rather than catching issues internally. To turn things around, they’ve launched a new quality program pushing vehicles to extreme mileage to spot flaws early. It’ll take 18 months to see real results, but the goal is clear: smoother launches, fewer defects, better reliability, and faster fixes—all to slash recalls and warranty costs for good.
