Hundreds of Thousands of Toyota Tundras Recalled Over a Hidden Problem
If there's one thing people count on from Toyota, it's rock-solid reliability. These are the vehicles that rack up miles like trophies and rarely flinch. But hey, even legends have off days. Toyota just announced a major recall of its full-size Tundra pickup—proof that perfection's a high bar for anyone. This recall affects over 443,000 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks from model years 2022 through 2025. That's a hefty number of pickups, but thankfully, the problem at hand isn't catastrophic. We're not talking fireballs from mirror adjustments or transmissions going full Michael Bay. Instead, it's a much smaller gremlin: the reverse lights might not turn on when you're backing up. Still, it's not something to shrug off. Without those lights, drivers lose visibility at night, and pedestrians or nearby cars might not realize a truck is moving in reverse. The culprit? Moisture sneaking into the light housings and slowly corroding the electrical connections—annoying, but fixable. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has weighed in on the situation, and its report offers some specifics. 'This recall only affects the 2022–2025 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles equipped with reverse lamp assemblies of a specific design using a specific adhesive for the vent patch." In other words, not every truck is guaranteed to have the issue, but plenty might. As the report puts it, 'Toyota is unable to estimate the percentage of the involved vehicles to contain the defect.' It's a bit of a moisture mystery. 'Whether the issue, in each case, will actually lead to both reverse lamps not illuminating depends on whether the multi-layer vent patch has allowed moisture to enter the reverse lamp assembly and caused corrosion of electrical components.' Toyota will fix the reverse light issue by swapping out the faulty lighting assemblies and repairing the wiring harness, at no cost to you. If your Tundra is part of the recall, expect an official notice in the mail by June 25, 2025. Toyota's internal codes for this fix are 24TB06 and 24TA06, while NHTSA's official campaign number is 25V322000. Got questions?

Should You Buy Ford While It's Below $11?
Ford's low ROIC, coupled with the intensely competitive nature of the auto industry, likely means that it does not possess an economic moat. A bright spot for the company is the Pro segment, which is driving revenue and profit growth. Investors might be drawn to the cheap valuation and the high dividend yield. 10 stocks we like better than Ford Motor Company › It might come as a surprise to investors, but Ford (NYSE: F) is outperforming the broader market this year. As of May 28, the stock is up nearly 3% in 2025. This small win doesn't take away from the fact that the company has a poor track record over an extended period of time. Nonetheless, it's best to view the situation with a fresh perspective. Ford shares currently trade below $11. Does this setup mean that you should be a buyer right now? Let's look at the most important factors about the business and the stock that long-term investors should be paying attention to. In my view, one of the first things investors should try to identify when looking at a potential stock to buy is the presence of an economic moat. Capitalism creates fierce competition. And the companies that have built up durable competitive strengths are able to outperform rivals in the long run. Even the legendary investor Warren Buffett would likely agree. Turning the attention back to Ford, it's an easy argument to make by saying the company does not have an economic moat. A quantitative representation can be had by looking at the return on invested capital (ROIC) of 8.6%. It's best to own businesses that generate a figure well over 20%, as this indicates a huge spread between ROIC and the weighted average cost of capital. Producing a much higher ROIC showcases the ability to create real economic value, as opposed to destroying it. Understanding the industry backdrop will also give investors pause. The market is incredibly competitive, with domestic and foreign auto makers vying for consumer wallet share. The rise of electric vehicle (EV) enterprises only complicates the landscape. Some consumers might have an affinity to a brand, but other factors like price, features, and reliability can matter more in certain circumstances. It's hard to gain any sustainable advantage over rivals. Ford has been around for over a century, a nod to its staying power. However, this also reveals just how mature the auto industry is. Yes, there has been some innovation in recent decades with the introduction of hybrid cars and EVs. But the overall industry's growth isn't anything to write home about. In 2024, Ford brought in $185 billion in total revenue. This is just 28% higher than exactly one decade earlier in 2014. There were 17.8 million cars sold in the U.S. in April on a seasonally adjusted annual rate. That number is the same as exactly 25 years ago. The takeaway is that investors shouldn't expect Ford to miraculously start to supercharge its unit growth in the years ahead, unless, of course, there is a surge in the global population that warrants the need for more vehicles being on the road. I wouldn't bet on it. There is one bright spot under Food's hood, though, which is the Pro segment. This commercial-focused operation put up 15% sales growth in 2024, with an operating margin of 13.5%. Management touts its ability to bring in recurring revenue for the business. At under $11 per share, investors might be drawn to the current valuation. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.1, which is a massive discount to the overall market. Consequently, investors can get a dividend yield of 5.9%. As enticing as that sounds, Ford typically won't command a multiple that's in line with the market just because of how capital-intensive and cyclical the company's operations are. And that dividend payout could take a hit in an economic downturn if revenue and earnings plummet. Ford is a stock that long-term investors should avoid.
