Ford's $570 million mistake hits one of its most popular cars
Ford (F) has ridden a wave of positive consumer sentiment, strong incentive spending, and a tariff environment that favors domestic producers to a record-setting first half. Overall, Ford has sold 930,925 vehicles this year as of the end of May, a 6.1% year-over-year increase. The company reported a 16.3% increase in May sales to 220,959, mainly due to its biggest, most gas-guzzling models. Related: Ford issues yet another recall for a potentially dangerous issue Ford SUVs saw a 23% sales increase to 83,000, led by the Explorer, which had over 20,500 sold in the month. Meanwhile, Ford Trucks saw an 11.2% increase to 121,354 units sold. It was Ford's best May since Covid, with both Ford and Lincoln, Ford's luxury line, reporting double-digit sales increases. To help push sales and take advantage of buyers who are rushing to dealerships to buy inventory before tariffs hit, Ford launched its "From America, For America" campaign to provide customers with employee pricing. One of the biggest beneficiaries of this push has been the Ford Bronco, but now that vehicle is also running into the one issue that has plagued Ford in 2025. Image source: Thayer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Ford brought back its compact crossover SUV, the Bronco, in 2021 after a 25-year hiatus, and it has been selling well. Ford says it sold 30,000 Broncos in May alone. The vehicle has become so popular that, according to Ford Blue and Model e President Andrew Frick, the four-door Bronco beat the iconic Jeep Wrangler in sales for the seventh consecutive month. "Our trucks had the best – when you look at our whole truck portfolio, it had the best month we have had in two decades," Frick said. But Ford just announced that is recalling 2021-2024 Bronco Sport vehicles, 2020-2022 Escape vehicles, and 2019-2024 Kuga vehicles due to cracked fuel injectors that could leak fuel into the engine and increase the risk of fire. Related: Ford breaks an unfortunate General Motors recall record More than 694,000 vehicles could have the problem, so it's calling for a field service action that will cost Ford about $570 million, which will be reflected in its second-quarter results. Ford is scheduled to report its second-quarter earnings results on July 30. Analysts are expecting the company to report earnings of 30 cents per share, a 36.2% year-over-year decrease, on revenue of $41.47 billion, a 7.46% decrease. Ford and fellow domestic automakers have lauded President Donald Trump's 25% auto tariffs, even though they will cost the company billions. Earlier this year, Ford estimated that the tariffs would shave $1.5 billion off its EBITDA this year, with an overall $2.5 billion headwind. But Ford sees itself as best positioned to benefit from the situation. "Last year, we assembled over 300,000 more vehicles in the U.S. than our closest competitor. That includes 100% of all our full-size trucks," CEO Jim Farley said during the company's last earnings call. "In this new with the largest U.S. footprint will have a big advantage, and boy, is that true for Ford," he added. "It puts us in the pole position."

Popular Ford newcomer overtakes Jeep in a key area
As one of the major industries losing to foreign competition, automakers have welcomed the 25% tariffs on auto imports. Everyone from auto industry execs to auto worker union reps has praised President Donald Trump's trade war. Related: Ford reports another blowout sales month, but trouble could be ahead "Ford supports the administration's goal to strengthen the U.S. economy by growing manufacturing, and we also support a level playing field globally for domestic and foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEM)," Ford CEO Jim Farley said. However, unlike the other two U.S. Big 3 automakers, Ford makes the vast majority of its vehicles in the U.S., so it stands to benefit significantly from duties on foreign imports. Ford says it builds about 80% of the cars it sells in the States. Ford builds the Maverick and Bronco Sport at its Hermosillo plant in Sonora, Mexico. The Mustang Mach E is manufactured in Cuautitlan, Mexico, and the Ford Edge is made in Ontario, Canada. Besides that, Ford builds most of the cars it sells here domestically. "All of our iconic vehicles, really – F-150, Explorer, Bronco; on the Pro side, Super Duty and Transit – are all 100% built here in the U.S.," said Ford Blue and Model e President Andrew Frick. To help push sales and take advantage of buyers who are rushing to dealerships to buy inventory before tariffs hit, Ford launched its "From America, For America" campaign to provide customers with employee pricing. "It's really paid off for us in the last 60 days. You've seen a lot of the results in the market. Last month (May)... we actually posted a 14.7% share here in the U.S. That's up 1.9 points of share on a year-over-year basis. A lot of times in this industry we fight for tenths of share, and to have a 1.9% increase year over year was very strong," said Frick. One of the biggest beneficiaries of this push has been the Ford Bronco.

Overall, Ford has sold 930,925 vehicles to date, a 6.1% year-over-year increase, despite the specter of tariffs upsetting the whole apple cart. However, one area for the company that wasn't in the green was electric vehicle sales. Ford sold 25% fewer electric vehicles this month than last, accelerating a declining sales trend for a segment of the company's brand that had been experiencing growth. The Mustang Mach-E was the lone electric vehicle model to see sales growth, with an 11% increase to 4,274. In fact, the Mach E is inching towards overtaking its non-electric brother in sales. Mustang sales were down 3% in the month to just over 5,000 sold.
