The recalls are mostly tied to two issues: rearview camera malfunctions and windshield wiper problems. Many of the fixes require a software update or parts inspection at a dealership.

The largest single recall covers around 889,950 vehicles. Certain 2020–2022 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, 2020–2024 Lincoln Aviator, and Explorer models are affected by a rearview camera that can flip or invert the image when the car is put in reverse.

A second major recall covers 849,310 vehicles, including select 2021–2026 Ford Bronco and 2021–2024 Ford Edge models. In those vehicles, the rearview camera image can fail to display entirely — a clear safety risk.

Ford stock fell 2.1% to $12.08 in early trading Friday. That said, the broader market was also under pressure, with the S&P 500 down 1.4% and the Dow off 1.6%, both hit by a weak jobs report and rising oil prices.

The stock is already down around 8% for the year, so Friday’s move added to an already rough stretch.

Warranty Costs In Focus

Recalls rarely tank a stock for long. But they do feed into warranty expenses, and that’s where investors are watching closely.

Ford’s warranty costs — including adjustments to existing warranties — came in at nearly 5% of sales in 2025. That’s higher than rival General Motors (GM), which ran closer to 4%.

So far in 2026, Ford has recalled 7.3 million vehicles across 17 separate actions. In all of 2025, there were 220 recalls covering 17.7 million vehicles. The pace this year is already drawing attention.

Ford Says It’s Intentional

The argument is that catching problems early — even at scale — is better than letting them compound into bigger warranty charges later.

Investors may come around to that view, but only if the quality metrics actually improve and warranty costs start trending down over time.

Ford’s full-year warranty expense figure for 2026 will be the real test of whether this recall-heavy approach is paying off.

Xi Jinping speaks with US President Trump on the phone

PANews reported on September 19th that President Xi Jinping spoke with US President Trump by phone tonight. They had a candid and in-depth exchange of views on current China-US relations and issues of mutual concern, and provided strategic guidance for the stable development of China-US relations in the next phase. The call was pragmatic, positive, and constructive. Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of China-US relations. China and the US can achieve mutual success and common prosperity, benefiting both countries and the world. To realize this vision, both sides must meet each other halfway and make efforts to achieve mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. The recent consultations between the two teams demonstrated the spirit of equality, respect, and reciprocity. The two sides can continue to properly address outstanding issues in the relationship and strive for a win-win outcome. The US should refrain from taking unilateral trade restrictive measures to prevent undermining the achievements achieved through multiple rounds of consultations. China's position on the TikTok issue is clear. The Chinese government respects the wishes of businesses and welcomes them to conduct commercial negotiations based on market rules and reach solutions that comply with Chinese laws and regulations and balance interests. China hopes that the US will provide an open, fair, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies to invest in the United States.
