Toyota, Honda brace for profit falls as US tariffs, strong yen weigh
By Daniel Leussink TOKYO (Reuters) -Toyota Motor and Honda Motor are expected to report weaker first-quarter earnings this week, as U.S. import tariffs and a stronger yen weigh on profits despite solid demand for hybrids in their biggest overseas markets. Japanese automakers face growing uncertainty in the U.S., where tariffs on imports are pushing up vehicle prices and testing the resilience of consumer demand. Investors will be watching for clues on how Japan's two largest automakers are offsetting such burdens. Toyota, the world's top-selling automaker, is forecast to post a 31% year-on-year drop in operating profit to 902 billion ($6.14 billion) yen on Thursday, according to the average estimate of seven analysts polled by LSEG. That would mark its weakest quarterly result in more than two years. Honda is expected to report a 36% decline in operating profit to 311.7 billion yen on Wednesday, its second straight quarterly drop. The automaker has already forecast a 59% fall in full-year profit. Both companies face the prospect of 15% tariffs on Japanese auto imports into the U.S. from levies totalling 27.5% previously, following a bilateral trade deal last month. Other Japanese automakers and suppliers have also flagged weaker earnings, citing the same pressures from tariffs and the stronger currency compared to the same period a year ago. "The first quarter is going to be a rough one for Toyota," said Christopher Richter, autos analyst at CLSA. "Things should get easier going forward," he said, citing some relief from the lowered tariffs. Particularly Honda's reliance on the U.S. has deepened in recent years as sales in other regions falter. Outside of the U.S., both companies produce key models for the U.S. market in Canada and Mexico. For Honda, the U.S. accounted for around two-fifths of total sales in the first half of the year. Its global sales fell 5% over the period, dragged down by double-digit declines in China, Asia and Europe. Toyota's global sales rose 6% over the period supported by strong demand for petrol-electric hybrids which typically carry higher margins than conventional petrol cars. Its Camry and Sienna hybrids remain strong sellers in the U.S. The company has also performed better in China in recent months, posting a 7% year-on-year increase in vehicle sales over the first half of the year. Honda said in May that it was scaling back its investment in electric vehicles given slowing demand and would be focusing on hybrids with various revamped models. It had earlier delayed plans to build an EV production base in Canada due to slowing demand for electric cars. Investors will be looking for updates from both companies on their pricing strategy and any revisions to full-year forecasts. The Japanese automakers have been taking measures such as transfer pricing to help alleviate the burden from the import tariffs, CLSA's Richter said. Shares of Toyota are down 16% so far this year, while those of Honda are flat.

Ford Recalling 312,000 Trucks, SUVs with Brake Booster Issue
Ford is recalling another 312,120 vehicles, this time over an issue with the electronic brake booster. The recall population is split among 2025 Ford F-150, Expedition, Bronco, Ranger, and 2025 Lincoln Navigator models, with the majority—217,969—being F-150 pickups. In affected models, the electronic brake booster model can enter a faulted state while driving, creating a total loss of brake boost. Ford's year of recalls continues, with the company issuing yet another, this time for 312,120 vehicles over an issue with the electronic brake booster. The recall population is limited to 2025 models and extends to certain Ford F-150, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger models, along with the Lincoln Navigator. Ford According to documents associated with the recall, the issue stems from the electronic brake booster (EBB) module, which can shut off either during normal driving or while a driver-assist system (ADAS) is in use. Once in this faulted state, the car won't have any brake boost until the EBB module is reset along with the car's ignition cycle. The documents confirm that as of mid-July, Ford was aware of 37 warranty claims associated with the brake boost issue. Ford is also aware of one alleged low-speed crash related to the issue. No injuries or fires have been connected to the fault, according to NHTSA documents. Lincoln The documents show that the issue arises because the EBB module is susceptible to "normal but infrequent voltage disturbances." A momentary drop in voltage and a subsequent surge can result in a spike that causes the EBB motor to power off. If the brake boost is lost, the ABS, electronic stability control, and brake cluster warning lights will illuminate on the dash alongside warning messages. The loss in boost will also likely cause a change in brake pedal feel and increased pedal travel. The remedy for the issue is a simple software update for the EBB module. Ford expects to begin rolling out over-the-air updates sometime in August, though owners will also have the choice to bring their car to a local dealership for the install. Ford will begin notifying dealers of the crash on August 11, with owner notification letters scheduled to be sent on August 25. Owners concerned that their vehicle may be involved can check on the NHTSA recalls website now.

Toyota Might Bring a New Truck to the U.S. That Would Defy All the Odds
Currently, just two trucks exist in the compact pickup market — Toyota is prepared to get in on the action. Led by historically low fuel prices, regulatory loopholes and changing consumer preferences, a variety of factors have contributed to the ever-growing size of vehicles in the United States. Ultimately, though, there's no getting around the fact that it's spawned something of an arms race wherein drivers are determined to be behind the wheel of the biggest thing on the road — often more out of a feeling of self-preservation than any real need for the size. However, some automakers (Ford and Hyundai) have heeded the call to downsize their offerings and demonstrated a clear demand for compact pickups. With the Maverick and the Santa Cruz being the only two trucks of their kind on the US market, it seems that Toyota now has its eye on a piece of the pie. Compact competition Since introducing the Maverick in late 2021, Ford has improved on the model's sales performance with each passing year. So, even though some 74,370 buyers lined up for a Maverick in the first full year that it was on the market, that number climbed to 94,058 units in 2023 and then again to 131,142 units in 2024. And here's the thing — despite a tumultuous first half of 2025 plagued by tariffs and other political uncertainties, Ford has managed to keep the momentum going. With 98,078 Mavericks moved to date, the Blue Oval has posted an 8.9 percent improvement compared to 2024. Now, it's worth noting that Hyundai hasn't enjoyed the same kind of success in the compact truck segment with the Santa Cruz. Though the brand managed to grow its pickup sales to 36,675 units in 2023, that number fell to 32,033 in 2024. Hyundai is also down 20 percent on the year at just 16,532 trucks sold. In any case, Ford is showing that an established brand reputation in the compact truck segment can make for big gains, while Hyundai is having better luck with its efforts to attract new EV buyers. Given that Toyota's data projects that it could sell 100,000 to 150,000 compact trucks per year in the U.S. alone, there's still plenty of untapped potential for an automaker known for bestsellers like the mid-size Tacoma and the full-size Tundra. Toyota intentions Toyota recognizes as much. In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Mark Templin, COO of Toyota America, stated the brand was 'looking at it' when discussing the possibility of entering the small truck market. By contrast, Cooper Ericksen, head of planning and strategy for Toyota North America, proved far more forthcoming in his talks with MotorTrend. Along with confirming that 'decisions have been made' and that 'we're committed to it,' he also revealed that the pickup will be a unibody truck based on the existing TNGA platform. Moreover, in speaking to the outlet, Ericksen acknowledged that 'full-size trucks and midsize trucks have really gotten expensive.' While the added cost is warranted for those who demand the capability, not everyone wants something that can take them into parts unknown. Consider the Slate EV, for instance. In just two weeks, the electric truck managed to rack up more than 100,000 reservations, marketed for affordability and customization potential rather than typical pickup considerations like payload or towing capacity. Regardless of the powertrain, it's clear that 'small' is in style. A matter of time In speaking to MotorTrend, Ericksen also confirmed that 'it's not a matter of 'if,' at this point' but rather 'how to make it work.' At the time, Toyota was primarily focused on bolstering its all-electric lineup, and the development of such vehicles was proving to be far too taxing to justify work on a compact truck simultaneously. After all, the brand had previously announced a plan to introduce 24 new or updated models through a revised mixed-energy initiative. However, circumstances have since changed. From the phasing out of federal tax incentives to the increasingly bipartisan anti-EV sentiments, electric cars aren't likely to be at the top of Toyota's agenda. If the brand wants to capitalize on the success of Ford's Maverick, it's only a matter of time before its own small truck hits the market.
