The recalls are mostly tied to two issues: rearview camera malfunctions and windshield wiper problems. Many of the fixes require a software update or parts inspection at a dealership.

The largest single recall covers around 889,950 vehicles. Certain 2020–2022 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, 2020–2024 Lincoln Aviator, and Explorer models are affected by a rearview camera that can flip or invert the image when the car is put in reverse.

A second major recall covers 849,310 vehicles, including select 2021–2026 Ford Bronco and 2021–2024 Ford Edge models. In those vehicles, the rearview camera image can fail to display entirely — a clear safety risk.

Ford stock fell 2.1% to $12.08 in early trading Friday. That said, the broader market was also under pressure, with the S&P 500 down 1.4% and the Dow off 1.6%, both hit by a weak jobs report and rising oil prices.

The stock is already down around 8% for the year, so Friday’s move added to an already rough stretch.

Warranty Costs In Focus

Recalls rarely tank a stock for long. But they do feed into warranty expenses, and that’s where investors are watching closely.

Ford’s warranty costs — including adjustments to existing warranties — came in at nearly 5% of sales in 2025. That’s higher than rival General Motors (GM), which ran closer to 4%.

So far in 2026, Ford has recalled 7.3 million vehicles across 17 separate actions. In all of 2025, there were 220 recalls covering 17.7 million vehicles. The pace this year is already drawing attention.

Ford Says It’s Intentional

The argument is that catching problems early — even at scale — is better than letting them compound into bigger warranty charges later.

Investors may come around to that view, but only if the quality metrics actually improve and warranty costs start trending down over time.

Ford’s full-year warranty expense figure for 2026 will be the real test of whether this recall-heavy approach is paying off.

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”

The post Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, stated that there should be uniform cryptocurrency regulation in the country. At this point, Coinbase sent a letter to the US Department of Justice requesting that federal regulators prevent state regulations from conflicting with national crypto policies and ensure uniform regulatory clarity. Coinbase’s request comes after the state of Oregon filed a lawsuit against Coinbase for unregistered securities, despite the SEC withdrawing its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. Coinbase states that although the country’s top regulator, the SEC, withdrew its lawsuit, states are filing lawsuits in defiance of the SEC’s decision. In the letter, addressed by Coinbase Legal Counsel Paul Grewal, he stated: “Despite the Trump administration’s positive regulatory efforts, crypto companies are being negatively impacted by states’ flawed interpretations of securities laws and their divergent actions. If Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, we have a problem. It has long been clear that the current patchwork of state laws is not only inefficient, but also slows innovation and harms consumers. At this point, the Justice Department should take steps to address the pressing issues by calling on Congress to step in and enact comprehensive and uniform regulations.” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit against Coinbase last April, alleging that Coinbase was promoting the sale of unregistered cryptocurrencies to individuals in Oregon. *This is not investment advice.
