Ford Motor Company to recall more than 300,000 vehicles in the US: Which models are impacted, and what can consumers do

Time of India4 days ago
In a jolt for Ford Motor Company, it is set to recall more than 300,000 vehicles due to a defect that can increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The American automaker is recalling some US vehicles, as an unexpected loss of power brake assist while driving can extend stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash, news agency Reuters reported.
The NHTSA recall report stated that as many as 312,120 vehicles were potentially affected. The administration stated that the vehicle's Electric Brake Booster (EBB) could malfunction while driving or when using the Advanced Driver Assistance System.

Ford reports loss as it sees 2025 tariff hit of $2 bn
Ford reported a narrow loss on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) despite surging sales from consumers seeking to beat tariff impacts as the automaker projected a $2 billion full-year earnings hit due to the levies, according to news agency AFP.
The major US automaker pointed to one-time costs related to vehicle recalls and the cancellation of an electric vehicle program as factors behind a second-quarter loss of $36 million, compared to profits of $1.8 billion in the prior year.
But revenues jumped 5.0 percent to $50.2 billion, a record, as the company notched robust sales of popular truck models and reported strong demand for new sport utility models.
The automaker estimated the second-quarter impact from tariffs to be about $800 million, and it projected a full-year gross tariff hit of $3 billion for 2025, although Ford said it was able to offset about $1 billion of the costs.
US President Donald Trump has announced a slew of tariffs on other countries and on key materials like steel, while pursuing trade deals with major partners.
So far, Trump has sealed agreements with Japan and the European Union that set imports of finished cars at 15 percent. That levy is below the current 25 percent tariff on autos imported from Mexico and Canada. Ford is also affected by Trump's tariffs on imported auto parts.

US may lose 150,000 international students this fall, risking $7 billion in revenue

Agencies American universities may see international student enrollment decline by as many as 150,000 this fall, a development that could cost the US higher education sector nearly $7 billion and threaten over 60,000 jobs. This estimate comes from a new analysis by NAFSA: Association of International Educators and JB International, based on recent data from the US Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) and the State Department. The report attributes the expected drop to recent visa disruptions, executive orders, and scrutiny measures introduced by the Trump administration. Unless student visa issuances rebound sharply by August, the study warns of a 15% drop in total international enrollment. In the academic year 2023–24, US colleges hosted 1,126,690 international students — the highest number recorded, according to the Institute of International Education's Open Doors report. These students made up 6% of the total US college population and included those on optional practical training (OPT), who stay for temporary employment related to their studies. International student numbers had recovered post-pandemic, increasing by 200,000 since the 2020 decline. But the new forecast signals that this growth could reverse. Key states face major financial losses According to the NAFSA report, a 30–40% drop in new foreign students would significantly impact several US states. California alone could lose over $1 billion, while New York's losses may be close to that figure. Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida could each see losses exceeding $200 million. Four factors behind the projected fall: Suspension of Visa Interviews: Student visa interviews were suspended between May 27 and June 18, 2025 — a peak period for issuances. Interviews have resumed, but consulates are now directed to scrutinize applicants' social media accounts more closely. Appointment Shortages: Limited or no visa appointments were reported in countries that are key sources of international students — including India, China, Nigeria, and Japan. Declining Visa Issuance: F-1 visa grants fell 12% year-on-year from January to April 2025 and 22% in May. Though June data is pending, a decline of up to 90% is anticipated. Visa Bans: A presidential executive order issued on June 4, 2025, imposed restrictions on applicants from 19 countries. A further 36 countries may be added, the report highlighted that international students often pay full tuition fees at private institutions and out-of-state fees at public universities. Their financial contribution helps US colleges subsidize costs for domestic said, 'The projected losses confirm higher education leaders' concerns that anti-immigration policies would have a chilling effect on enrollment and revenue.' Trump vs international students In the past few months, the Trump administration has revoked or terminated visas of hundreds to thousands of international students, particularly those perceived as sympathetic to pro‑Palestinian viewpoints. By April 2025, over 1,000 visas had been canceled, and the administration implemented a 'catch and revoke' strategy—scrutinizing social media for signs of support for groups like Hamas or antisemitic activity—to revoke existing student visas and block renewals. One high‑profile case involved Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, who was arrested by ICE without a warrant, drawing criticism for potential First Amendment late May 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the US would 'aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those connected to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields,' accompanied by enhanced social media vetting for F, M, and J visa applicants. At US consulates, student visa interviews were suspended temporarily during late May–mid June re‑opening with stricter rules, such as requiring applicants to make their social media profiles public for government review. These policies have heightened fears among prospective and current international students and contributed to a chilling effect on international academic engagement in the US.

Manish Tewari slams Donald Trump's ‘bullying', asks Indian govt to show 'spine to stare this gentleman down'

Congress MP Manish Tewari on Tuesday sharply reacted to US President Donald Trump's fresh threat to 'substantially raise tariffs" on goods from India over its energy ties with Russia, saying the time has come to call out 'constant bullying and hectoring'. Congress MP Manish Tewari arrives to attend the Monsoon session of Parliament, in New Delhi.(PTI) Interacting with the media outside Parliament during the ongoing Monsoon Session, Manish Tewari hoped that the government of India would show the resolve and spine to firmly respond to Donald Trump's threats. 'Donald Trump's disparaging remarks hurt the dignity and self-respect of 1.4 crore Indians. I hope the government shows the resolve and spine to stare this gentleman down,' the senior Congress leader said. 'It's unfortunate that in international discourse, such vile language is being used by the President of the most powerful nation in the world. The time has come to call out this constant bullying and hectoring,' Tewari added. Tewari further said India has a historical legacy of standing up against anything that threatens its national interest. 'Trump's tariff threats need to be met with a steadfast national resolve by the government of India,' he said. Tewari's comments come hours after India on Monday mounted an unusually sharp counterattack on the US and the European Union for their "unjustified and unreasonable" targeting of New Delhi for its procurement of Russian crude oil. Firmly rejecting the criticism, India pointed out the double standards in targeting it on the issue and said both the US and the EU are continuing their trade relations with Russia. "Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said. The Europe-Russia trade includes not just energy, but also fertilizers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel, and machinery and transport equipment, the MEA said in a late-evening statement. "Where the US is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV industry, fertilizers as well as chemicals," it added. "In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security," the MEA said. It said India has been "targeted" by the US and the EU for importing oil from Russia after the commencement of the Ukraine conflict. In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict, it said. "The US at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy markets stability," the MEA said, adding India's imports are meant to ensure predictable and affordable energy costs to the Indian consumers. "They are a necessity compelled by global market situation. However, it is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia," it said. Earlier, US President Trump said his administration would substantially raise tariffs on India. "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it on the open market for big profits," he said in a social media post. "They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine," he said. (With inputs from PTI)

‘US itself trades with Russia': India hits back at Trump's ‘substantial' tariff threat

US President Donald Trump has accused India of profiting from Russia's war in Ukraine and threatened steep new tariffs. 'They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed,' he claimed. India hit back, calling its Russian oil imports a national necessity and slammed the US and EU's double standards. Despite criticising India, the West continues major trade with Russia. EAM Jaishankar also responded, defending India's energy security policy. Show more Show less
