Ford to recall over 312,000 US vehicles over loss of power brake assist, NHTSA says
The recall affects certain 2025 Lincoln Navigator, F-150, Expedition, Bronco, and Ranger vehicles.
The agency flagged that the Electronic Brake Booster (EBB) module might fail while driving or using the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) feature, causing a loss of power brake assist.
As a remedy, the EBB module software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, free of charge, NHTSA said.

Chevy Just Set An Insane EV Range Record—In A Big Truck
Chevy Just Set An Insane EV Range Record—In A Big Truck originally appeared on Autoblog. No hardware or software changes were required to set a new record It's been a record-breaking month for Chevrolet. Already, the company set a new record for American cars at the Nürburgring with the Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X. Its latest record won't be as exciting for gearheads, as it involves the longest range on a full charge for an EV, but it's another stellar technical achievement. 300 miles is generally accepted as the psychological mark of a useful EV range, but Lucid far surpassed this by hitting 749 miles in the Air sedan last month—a record at the time. Chevy has now crushed that figure, and even more impressively, it pulled off the feat with a heavy, full-size pickup, not an aerodynamic 1,000 Miles On A Full Charge The record-breaking achievement came behind the wheel of a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV Max Range Work Truck, which went 1,059.2 miles on a full charge, breaking Lucid's 749-mile record. This truck is rated by the EPA for a 493 mile range, so how was it able to more than double that figure? GM says the record attempt began with a casual conversation between GM engineers late last year. They started guessing what sort of range they could achieve if the pickup could be optimized for range and efficiency. 'Getting this kind of range on a full charge doesn't happen by accident,' said Kurt Kelty, VP, battery, propulsion, and sustainability. 'It takes deep integration across battery chemistry, drive unit efficiency, software and vehicle engineering—and that's exactly what the team delivered. This achievement is a great example of how far our EV technology has come, and the kind of innovation we're building on every day at GM.'Real-World Test Sees Staggering Results The GM team performed the record-breaking test on public roads in southeastern Michigan, close to GM's Milford Proving Ground. The team optimized every feasible aspect of the truck, but left the hardware and software as is. While it's technically possible for owners of the truck to put some of these optimizing measures in place, combining them all will be just about impossible in normal driving. These were the measures taken by the team: When conditions allowed, drivers averaged 20 to 25 mph, and hard braking was minimized No passengers were in the truck for most of the test Windshield wiper arms were set to the lowest possible position, reducing drag The highest acceptable tire pressure was used, resulting in lower rolling resistance The wheel alignment was optimized and the spare tire was removed The climate control wasn't used at all For smoother airflow, an accessory tonneau cover was added The test occurred in warmer summer conditions None of these measures are particularly groundbreaking, but the cumulative effect clearly made all the difference. The various engineers who drove the truck did so in one-hour shifts, allowing them to incorporate the project into their normal work schedules. 'If we drove it downhill the whole time, sure, we'd get insane mileage,' said Jon Doremus, propulsion calibration engineering manager. 'But that's not what this was about. We wanted this to be real, on public roads.' The test suggests that by incorporating just a few of these measures, owners of this Chevy pickup should easily be able to squeeze over 500 miles of range from it, a commendable effort. The EPA rating of the Chevy is already better than all other rivals, including the Rivian R1T, Tesla Cybertruck, and Ford F-150 Just Set An Insane EV Range Record—In A Big Truck first appeared on Autoblog on Aug 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Autoblog on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Chevy Corvette Z06 Inventory Surges, Pushing Dealers to Offer Deep Discounts
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Over 1,700 unsold Corvette Z06s now sit on dealer lots, prompting significant price cuts to move high-performance inventory. Just a year ago, Chevrolet dealers had waiting lists and soaring markups on the highly coveted Corvette Z06. Today, that script has flipped entirely. As of early August, more than 1,700 examples of the 2024 and 2025 Corvette Z06 remain unsold on dealer lots across the U.S., according to Chevrolet's online vehicle locator tool. The Z06 now represents the largest share of unsold Corvettes, outpacing even the Stingray and the hybrid E-Ray. Despite being hailed as a track-ready marvel with its 670-horsepower LT6 flat-plane-crank V8, the Z06 has hit a sales speed bump. Many of the cars listed are now being offered at or below MSRP, a striking reversal from the $20,000–$50,000 dealer markups seen during its launch window. In some cases, discounts exceed $10,000 on well-optioned trims, a development few anticipated for the high-performance halo car. The Z06's sudden overabundance reflects broader shifts in the enthusiast market. Inflation, high interest rates, and changing consumer priorities have softened demand for high-priced performance vehicles. Dealers, once holding out for top-dollar offers, are now eager to clear aging inventory before 2026 models arrive. The market correction has created a rare buying opportunity. With discounts and availability at record highs, buyers who were previously priced out can now shop Z06s on their terms. 'It's the best time in years to grab a Z06 without the headache of a bidding war,' one Michigan dealer commented. Whether this is a temporary glut or a lasting trend remains to be seen, but for now, the Z06 is finally a buyer's car—and Chevrolet showrooms are ready to make a deal.
