Ford recalls Bronco, Mustang Mach-E models for door lock issues
Ford has announced a pair of recalls for certain Bronco and Mustang Mach-E vehicles due to issues affecting the door locks, together impacting more than 35,000 vehicles.
As of Thursday, the recalls target opposite problems affecting the door latches. In the case of the Mustang models, doors may remain locked when they aren't normally expected to, and for the Bronco SUVs, child-safety locks may fail to prevent some doors from opening.
Here's what you need to know:
Ford Mustang Mach-E recall
The larger of the two recalls affects over 32,000 Ford Mustang Mach-E SUVs, including those from model years 2021 through 2025.
According to a Transport Canada notice, the issue may originate from the software managing the power-control and secondary on-board diagnostic control modules.
'Under certain conditions, the electronic door latches could stay locked after the driver and/or front passenger exit the vehicle,' the notice reads.
'As a result, you may not be able to open the doors from the outside, or an occupant that's unable to use the inside door handle(s) may not be able to exit the vehicle on their own.'
Transport Canada warns that in an emergency, the issue may delay first responders and slow some drivers or passengers trying to exit the vehicle.
'Both issues could increase the risk of injury,' the notice reads.
Ford Bronco recall
Also recalled are 2025 models of Ford Bronco SUVs, with nearly 4,000 units affected.
The recall's Transport Canada notice reads that on some four-door models of the SUVs, the 'left-rear door may be opened from the inside when the child safety lock is in the 'ON' position.'
A failure of the child-lock system could 'increase the risk of injury,' it says.
If your vehicle is affected
Transport Canada is advising owners of affected models that Ford will contact them by mail and direct them to bring their vehicle to a dealership, where the software for Mustang Mach-E models will be updated, and Bronco SUVs will be inspected for door-latch issues.
Parts may be replaced if necessary, the Bronco notice reads.
For more information, owners can contact Ford by phone at 1-800-565-3673, or look up their vehicle on the manufacturer's recalls page.

Tesla's 10X P/S Premium: Is the Stock a Buy, Hold or Sell Now?
Tesla TSLA is one of those stocks whose valuation has long been divorced from its fundamentals. It has always traded at a premium, backed by promises of its long-term potential. For years, that premium felt somewhat justified. Tesla didn't just sell cars — it transformed the electric vehicle (EV) space, much like Amazon reshaped retail and Netflix disrupted entertainment. For many, Tesla was the first name that came to mind when talking about EVs. But that first-mover advantage is fading. Competition is fierce. Tesla's lineup looks dated, with no major launches lately. Meanwhile, legacy automakers, EV startups and especially Chinese rivals are flooding the market with more affordable and increasingly attractive options. Having said that, Tesla has bold ambitions — from robotaxis to full autonomy — and it hopes these will become the next growth engine as EV sales momentum slows. But progress on that front has been slower than expected. So, are there really enough tailwinds to support Tesla's sky-high valuation? The stock trades at more than 10X forward 12-month sales, far above the industry average of 2.68X. At this point, should investors bet on Tesla's long-term vision, or do today's headwinds make it too risky? Let's dig in. TSLA's Weak Q2: Deliveries, Sales, Margins and FCF Slide Tesla's financials continue to weaken, with declining deliveries, revenues, margins and cash flow. After its first-ever annual delivery decline in 2024, 2025 is off to a rough start. Deliveries fell 13% year over year in the first quarter, followed by another 13.4% drop in the second quarter. China's EV giant China's BYD Co Ltd BYDDY continues to challenge Tesla. In the fourth quarter of 2023, BYD briefly took the EV sales crown from Tesla before ending the full year just behind. The same pattern was repeated in 2024. In first-quarter 2025, BYD delivered over 416,000 BEVs, outpacing Tesla's 336,000. In the second quarter, BYD reported 606,993 BEVs sold (up 42.5% year over year), marking its third straight quarter of beating Tesla in battery EV sales. The last reported quarter marked Tesla's sharpest quarterly revenue decline in more than a decade, raising questions not only about demand but also about the company's brand image amid Elon Musk's increasingly polarizing political activity. Automotive revenues, Tesla's largest contributor, led the slide due to fewer deliveries and lower average selling prices. Model 3/Y deliveries fell 11.5%, while higher-end models (Model X/S) plunged roughly 52%, highlighting soft demand across the lineup. Profitability also came under pressure. Automotive gross margin contracted to 17%, down 100 basis points from last year. Operating margin shrank to just 4.1%, a steep 220 basis point drop. Notably, while operating expenses fell only 1%, revenues contracted 12%, underscoring weaker efficiency. Earnings and cash generation mirrored this trend. EPS fell 23% year over year, while operating cash flow dropped 30%. With capex up 5%, free cash flow tumbled 89% to just $146 million — its third straight quarterly slide. Musk has already warned of 'rough quarters' ahead, and second-quarter results show exactly why investors should take him at his word. Are TSLA's FSD & Robotaxi Progress Enough? Even as Tesla's financials show strain, the company continues to push hard on autonomy. Growing adoption of Full Self-Driving (FSD) and the launch of a paid robotaxi service are being pitched as the next chapter of growth — but the road ahead is far from smooth. Musk expects FSD software to secure regulatory approval in parts of Europe by year-end, though this target was already delayed from his earlier March projection. Despite its branding, FSD is still a driver-assistance system that requires human supervision, making full autonomy a work in progress. Meanwhile, Tesla officially rolled out its robotaxi service in Austin in June — a milestone in its self-driving ambitions. The company plans to expand into major U.S. markets such as the Bay Area, Nevada, Arizona and Florida, pending approvals. Robotaxis in Austin have already logged more than 7,000 miles without safety-critical interventions, and Tesla expects to scale service areas more than tenfold. Musk suggested that 'probably half the U.S. population' could have access to robotaxis by year-end, assuming regulators agree. Still, Tesla is hardly the leader here. Alphabet 's GOOGL Waymo dominates the U.S. robotaxi market, running commercial services in four cities and delivering over 250,000 paid rides per week. Backed by a $5 billion multi-year investment by Alphabet, Waymo has years of real-world testing, strong partnerships and a head start that Tesla must catch up to. What Do Tesla's Estimates Say? The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Tesla's 2025 revenues and EPS implies a 6% and 31.4% decline, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. Estimates for EPS have also been trending south over the past 60 days. Conclusion Tesla isn't being priced like a carmaker with falling sales and shrinking margins — it's still being valued like a tech giant of the future. That mismatch is the problem. Robotaxis and FSD may one day add value, but right now, they are promises against a backdrop of deteriorating fundamentals and intensifying competition. The execution remains uncertain and rivals like BYD and Alphabet's Waymo are already pulling ahead in their respective markets. At over 10X forward sales, Tesla's valuation leaves no margin for error. With estimates moving lower, cash flow drying up and rivals taking share, the risks far outweigh the potential rewards in the near term. Tesla no longer commands its premium. Until the company proves it can reignite growth or deliver meaningful progress on autonomy, investors may find better opportunities elsewhere in the auto and tech space. Tesla currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) and looks like a stock to avoid rather than chase. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Alaskan man gifted new motorcycle by Putin during Trump summit
A local man in Anchorage was given a new motorcycle by Russian President Vladimir Putin during last week's summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Alaskan city, according to a report published by Russian state television. An employee of the Russian embassy in the United States handed the man, Mark Warren, the keys to his new Ural motorcycle in the parking lot of the Anchorage hotel where the Russian delegation was staying. 'I have to say that this is a personal gift from the President of the Russian Federation,' Andrei Ledenev, the embassy employee, told Warren. The white-haired, bespectacled Warren, who Reuters was unable to contact for comment, was shown hopping aboard his new bike, Ledenev behind him and another man in the sidecar, to take it for a spin. 'It's night and day,' Warren said. 'I like my old one, but this one is obviously much better.' 'I'm speechless, it's amazing. Thank you very much.' The unexpected gift by the Russian leader came after reporters with Russian state television Channel 1 met Warren by chance on the streets of Anchorage ahead of the summit. The reporters stopped to admire Warren's bike, which is manufactured by Ural, whose original factory was founded in 1941 in what was then Soviet Russia. Warren told a reporter, Valentin Bogdanov, that he struggled to obtain spare parts for the bike, including a new starter, because the manufacturing plant is 'located in Ukraine.' 'So for you, if they resolve this conflict here in Alaska, I mean Putin and Trump, it will be good?' Bogdanov asks Warren. 'Yes, it will be good,' the Alaskan replies. Ural, which is headquartered in Washington State, says that all of its motorcycles are assembled in Kazakhstan. The company pulled all its production out of Russia after the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine. Ural did not immediately reply to a request for comment outside working hours in the U.S. (Reporting by Lucy Papachristou, Editing by William Maclean)
