Ford Stock (NYSE:F) Gains With Explorer Price Cut
Legacy automaker Ford (F) has drawn the ire of customers—and investors, by extension—for a lot of reasons in the last few years. High prices on vehicles was certainly one of the reasons, and one that kept a lot of potential car buyers out of the field. But Ford may be about to shake that particular game up a bit, and pull some potential Ford buyers off the fence. Investors were happy about this, and sent shares up over 1.5% in Monday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off!

This price cut comes to Ford's Explorer line—arguably Ford's flagship line, though the F-150 and the Mustang may have something to say about that—specifically, the 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor. The Tremor is a middle-of-the-lineup vehicle, and will be getting some price cutting when it appears on lots. This comes at a good time, too. The Explorer, reports note, is currently the '…best-selling midsize SUV in the United States,' with just over 104,000 units sold in the first half of 2025 alone. This gives Ford momentum to sell into, and it is taking advantage of that momentum with new pricing on the Tremor. The Tremor will sell for $48,330, a price that actually puts it $1,100 below the 2024 Explorer Timberline, which was recently discontinued. Want to Lease a Mach-E? It's a Good Time to Do So! If your taste runs more toward electric vehicles, and ones that carry a bit of history, there will also be some new pricing on Mustang Mach-E leases. The 2025 Mach-E Premium All-Wheel Drive edition, complete with extended battery, will now be available for $289 a month on a 36-month lease. The lease is offered through Ford Credit's Red Carpet Lease program, though you will need an additional $4,179 when you sign the lease. This will likely open up access to the Mach-E for a lot of users who would not have ordinarily gone with such a car. And when people lease cars, try them, drive them for a while, and get used to them, they may well follow up with a purchase. While such numbers have not really been tracked, there are some signs suggesting at least some customers will ultimately buy the same model car they once leased. Is Ford Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on F stock based on two Buys, 12 Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 20.96% loss in its share price over the past year, the average F price target of $10.14 per share implies 10.54% downside risk.

Ford's $570 million mistake hits one of its most popular cars
Ford (F) has ridden a wave of positive consumer sentiment, strong incentive spending, and a tariff environment that favors domestic producers to a record-setting first half. Overall, Ford has sold 930,925 vehicles this year as of the end of May, a 6.1% year-over-year increase. The company reported a 16.3% increase in May sales to 220,959, mainly due to its biggest, most gas-guzzling models. Related: Ford issues yet another recall for a potentially dangerous issue Ford SUVs saw a 23% sales increase to 83,000, led by the Explorer, which had over 20,500 sold in the month. Meanwhile, Ford Trucks saw an 11.2% increase to 121,354 units sold. It was Ford's best May since Covid, with both Ford and Lincoln, Ford's luxury line, reporting double-digit sales increases. To help push sales and take advantage of buyers who are rushing to dealerships to buy inventory before tariffs hit, Ford launched its "From America, For America" campaign to provide customers with employee pricing. One of the biggest beneficiaries of this push has been the Ford Bronco, but now that vehicle is also running into the one issue that has plagued Ford in 2025. Image source: Thayer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Ford brought back its compact crossover SUV, the Bronco, in 2021 after a 25-year hiatus, and it has been selling well. Ford says it sold 30,000 Broncos in May alone. The vehicle has become so popular that, according to Ford Blue and Model e President Andrew Frick, the four-door Bronco beat the iconic Jeep Wrangler in sales for the seventh consecutive month. "Our trucks had the best – when you look at our whole truck portfolio, it had the best month we have had in two decades," Frick said. But Ford just announced that is recalling 2021-2024 Bronco Sport vehicles, 2020-2022 Escape vehicles, and 2019-2024 Kuga vehicles due to cracked fuel injectors that could leak fuel into the engine and increase the risk of fire. Related: Ford breaks an unfortunate General Motors recall record More than 694,000 vehicles could have the problem, so it's calling for a field service action that will cost Ford about $570 million, which will be reflected in its second-quarter results. Ford is scheduled to report its second-quarter earnings results on July 30. Analysts are expecting the company to report earnings of 30 cents per share, a 36.2% year-over-year decrease, on revenue of $41.47 billion, a 7.46% decrease. Ford and fellow domestic automakers have lauded President Donald Trump's 25% auto tariffs, even though they will cost the company billions. Earlier this year, Ford estimated that the tariffs would shave $1.5 billion off its EBITDA this year, with an overall $2.5 billion headwind. But Ford sees itself as best positioned to benefit from the situation. "Last year, we assembled over 300,000 more vehicles in the U.S. than our closest competitor. That includes 100% of all our full-size trucks," CEO Jim Farley said during the company's last earnings call. "In this new with the largest U.S. footprint will have a big advantage, and boy, is that true for Ford," he added. "It puts us in the pole position."

Ford recalls 850K vehicles for defective fuel pumps
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Ford Motor Co. has recalled 850K vehicles for low-pressure fuel delivery module (FDM) failures that have led to engine stalling while driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recalled models include certain 2021-2023 Bronco, Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty pickups; 2021-2022 F-150, Mustang and Lincoln Navigator; and 2022 Expedition SUV. The automaker currently does not have a remedy available to address the large recall, and is notifying owners of the safety risk in the interim. The letters are expected to be mailed on July 14. Ford will send a second letter once a fix is available. According to the recall report, the problem is due to internal contamination of the FDM's jet pump, which occurs when the fuel level is low. The report also cites 'reduced fuel pump internal clearances that result in an increase of internal friction and sensitivity to vapor lock.' Drivers of the recalled vehicles may experience poor engine performance, such as rough running or misfiring, as well as reduced power and a check engine light. FDM failures are more likely to occur when the fuel level is low, or in warm weather that increases the temperature of the fuel in the tank, according to the report. Ford's Critical Concern Review Group first opened an investigation into failing FDMs in September 2022 after receiving a high number of warranty claims and parts returns related to the fuel delivery system on certain model year 2021-2022 vehicles. According to the NHTSA, the FDMs of the vehicles with warranty claims contained a specific variant of the low-pressure FDM and the unit's jet pump. A teardown analysis by Ford investigators found that jet pump orifices on some returned parts were blocked by contamination. However, the source of contamination was not confirmed at the time. The automaker's CCRG also reviewed warranty data. The CCRG noted that the rate of fuel pump failures significantly declined after its 'supplier implemented several corrective actions from December 2021 through September 2022 to reduce contamination and production variation,' according to the report. The FDM was sourced from Auburn Hills, Michigan-based Tier 1 supplier Phinia and manufactured at a facility in Mexico. In July 2023, Ford's CCRG conducted a second review of warranty data to confirm that Phinia's corrective actions had successfully resolved the fuel pump contamination problem. Based on the available warranty data Ford had at the time, the company closed its investigation because field data showed a low rate of failures and that these failures 'could be progressive in nature,' the recall report states. However, on July 29, 2024, the NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation opened a preliminary evaluation of fuel pump failures after receiving six consumer complaints alleging loss of engine power in 2021 Ford Bronco SUVs. Ford responded to the NHTSA's inquiry on Sept. 23, 2024. On April 3, 2025, Ford's CCRG opened another investigation to update warranty claims, field reports and the number of vehicles associated with the NHTSA's preliminary evaluation in July 2024. On May 22, the automaker's CCRG discovered that the number of warranty claims was higher in the summer months and warm-weather states. Ford also collected connected vehicle data remotely to better understand the cause of a higher number of fuel delivery problems in warmer temperatures. The automaker's CCRG also looked at fuel tank fill levels and diagnostic trouble codes to determine the root cause. In early June, Ford's CCRG reviewed the vehicle production dates for the vehicles involved in warranty claims to determine if the problem was related to changes in the manufacturing process. Investigators discovered that all of the warranty claims were for vehicles produced between July 2021 and July 2022. On June 9 and 10, Ford Product Development and Ford Supplier Technical Assistance reviewed the supplier's manufacturing process for the fuel pumps installed in the vehicles. The review found that Phinia had changed the jet pump process to 'accommodate an increase in build complexity' beginning in early June 2021, according to the report. Ford also identified that an unnamed Tier 3 supplier of the FCM's pumping chamber did not manufacture the part to Phinia's specifications, resulting in low clearances that led to an increase in internal friction and sensitivity to vapor lock. This discovery led to Ford's Field Review Committee approving the recall of the 850,000 vehicles on June 30. An estimated 10% of the recalled vehicles are suspected of having defective FDMs. As of June 6, Ford has received 1,860 warranty claims from September 2021 through May 2025 related to the fuel pumps. This includes 28 field reports and 57 customer service reports for vehicles produced from July 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022. But the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries. Although a remedy is currently under development by Ford, the recall report does not indicate when the automaker expects to have one available. The latest recall is Ford's 89th of 2025 and its second largest of the year, following a May recall of over 1 million vehicles for faulty backup camera software, according to NHTSA data. It's the highest number of recalls for a major automaker this year, and is more than the combined total number of recalls of General Motors, Stellantis, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Volkswagen and Tesla. But Ford says it's actively working to improve vehicle quality, especially as its vehicles become more complex with a higher number of functions powered by software. 'Ford has more than doubled its team of safety and technical experts in the past two years and significantly increased testing to failure on critical systems such as powertrains, steering and braking,' Ford spokesperson Mike Levine said in an emailed statement to Automotive Dive. Ford's 2025 recalls now exceed the total number from last year and potentially extend to over 5.2 million vehicles. Although the fuel pump recall is due to a mechanical issue, several of Ford's larger recalls this year were due to vehicle software errors, including May's recall of over one million vehicles. But finding and correcting software-related issues remains a high priority for the company, as well as for other automakers, as more vehicles are launched with software-powered systems that can be updated over the air. "The increase in recalls reflects our intensive strategy to quickly find and fix any hardware and software issues and go the extra mile to protect customers,' said Levine.
