2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall Exposes Years of Known Defects While Company Profits Soared, Asking Who Really Benefits From Delayed Action?
A massive recall affecting over 2 million 2018-2022 Ford vehicles is making headlines, but skeptics are asking why it took so long to address a defect that may have been flagged internally years ago. The recall, which targets a potentially catastrophic transmission issue causing unintended rolling even in park, comes after reports of hundreds of accidents and dozens of injuries. While Ford blames a voluntary supplier oversight lapse, critics point to the company’s record $10 billion profit during those years and a lagging NHTSA investigation, suggesting shareholders and legal teams were prioritized over public safety. The irony? Ford donated millions to safety advocacy groups during the same period. Who is really watching the watchmen?
