Ford Breaks General Motors' Infamous Recall Record
We already knew that Ford was having a dire year for recalls, but a new record by the Blue Oval is the final nail in the coffin for the brand's ongoing quality issues. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Ford has issued 89 recalls in the first six months of 2025. That number surpasses the annual record for recalls by an individual manufacturer - and we're only in July. For dealers and customers alike, the need to attend to the various issues related to the 88 recalls has caused immense frustration. Related: Every Two Days: 2025 Is Turning Into A Recall Disaster For Ford Ford's 89 records so far in 2025 surpassed the 2014 record held by General Motors, when the latter issued 77 recalls. That year, hundreds of thousands of GM cars were affected by faulty ignition switches, including models from Chevrolet and Cadillac. However, GM is the parent company of multiple individual brands, so it figures that more recalls had to be issued, whereas Ford only has Lincoln under its umbrella. According to Automotive News, Ford's 2025 recall count is more than the next five automakers combined. Ford says it's taking a proactive approach to recalls, whereby it's aggressively auditing previous fixes of issues in an attempt to pick up problems early. As Dodge recently discovered, some recalls can come back to haunt automakers years after quality issues should have been resolved. Ford is willing to risk short-term reputational damage to improve quality in the longer term, although one wonders when customers will finally see the number of recalls decline, as Ford was the most recalled automaker in 2023, too. One of the most recent of Ford's 89 recalls is an issue with a low-pressure fuel pump. This one affects over 850,000 models, including the Ford Bronco, Ford Expedition, and Ford F-250. Prior to this, Fords were recalled in 2025 for issues with rearview cameras, steering controls, braking systems, and seats, among others. The rearview camera recall was even bigger, affecting 1.1 million vehicles. In this case, the rearview camera image could freeze or be delayed, so drivers would not be able to spot potential hazards. At the end of 2022, Ford CEO Jim Farley said that fixing Ford's quality issues could take years, and midway through 2025, the company still has its hands full resolving new and old quality issues.

Police car chase ends with arrest of Worcester man accused of crashing stolen truck four times
Tewksbury police arrested a Worcester man they say stole a truck and crashed it four times after a car chase Sunday afternoon. Daniel Riedl, 41, pleaded not guilty to four counts of leaving the scene of a car crash with property damage and one count each of larceny of a motor vehicle, negligent operation, operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license, failure to stop for police, speeding and a marked lanes violation during his arraignment in Lowell District Court on Monday, according to court records. On June 22, Tewksbury police received a report shortly after 1:20 p.m. that a white Ford F-250 had been stolen from the Petroil gas station on Main Street, the police department said in a press release. Officers soon located the truck and attempted to pull it over, but the driver — who was later identified as Riedl — did not stop for police. A short time later, the truck hit a nearby Honda Civic and fled the scene, police said. Tewksbury police then received reports of a crash involving the truck and a Kia Sorento. Officers soon located the stolen truck again, but decided to stop chasing it due to Riedl's dangerous driving, police said. They continued tracking it as Riedl drove toward I-495 south, but he crashed into a traffic light and backed into a Tewksbury police cruiser before continuing onto the highway. Officers then notified Massachusetts State Police of truck's location, and troopers soon pulled it over and arrested Riedl, Tewksbury police said. He was released on personal recognizance bail during his arraignment and is due back in court on July 22, according to court records.

Man faces 9 offences after alleged string of Mississauga hit-and-runs
A 39-year-old man, subject to a Canada-wide driving prohibition in place since 2012, has been charged with several offences following an alleged string of hit-and-run collisions in Mississauga. Peel Regional Police said on June 12 several 911 calls were placed, reporting a pickup truck driving erratically near Dixie Rd. and the QEW and cops observed the vehicle driving northbound in the southbound lanes of Dixie Rd. Police attempted to intercept the black Ford F-250 but the driver allegedly refused to stop and fled at a high rate of speed and was seen driving on the sidewalk before colliding with several other vehicles and, at times, traveling more than twice the posted speed limit. Officers gave chase and the suspect struck a pole soon after, rendering his vehicle inoperable. It's alleged the suspect attempted to carjack another motorist to flee but was immediately apprehended by officers. No serious injuries were sustained by the other motorists. It was later discovered that the truck was stolen and equipped with counterfeit plates and it's alleged the suspect was under the influence of drugs. Gary Walker, of no fixed address, is unlicenced and subject of nine separate provincial driving prohibitions dating back to 2003. He has been charged with nine offences including failing to comply with release order, operation while impaired and robbery. Cops said that Walker has been convicted on numerous occasions for driving while impaired and driving while suspended. Bail was denied and he remains in custody.
