2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall Reveals Hidden Fire Risk: Dealer Wait Times Exceed 9 Months
A sweeping safety recall affecting 2018-2022 Ford models has escalated into a logistical crisis, with dealer wait times for repairs stretching beyond nine months. The issue centers on a potential fuel leak that can cause engine fires, even when the vehicle is off. This backlog is creating a secondary market of unrepaired vehicles, pressuring Ford's stock and revealing a gap in crisis management. CEOs in the auto sector should note this as a case study in supply chain fragility and customer trust erosion.
