Here's what to know if your car has an open recall. Ford Motor Company recently issued multiple recalls, affecting over 42,000 vehicles, for issues that can potentially increase the risk of fires and crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The NHTSA lists the recalls, which the Dearborn, Michigan-headquartered automaker reported to the federal government agency on May 27. Affected vehicles include various SUV models, such as some Broncos, F-150s and Escapes. Here are the reasons behind the recalls, the affected models and the provided remedies from Ford. Check car recalls here: Ford, Volkswagen, Ram among recent vehicles recalled Ford recalling some Nautilus vehicles Ford recalled 30,679 2024 Nautilus vehicles, the NHTSA said on May 27. According to the federal agency, the multimedia module software on the affected cars may cause the panoramic and center displays to reboot, resulting in a blank screen and a subsequent loss of view of the speedometer and warning lights, thus increasing the risk of a crash, NHTSA reported. A missing rearview camera can reduce visibility of what is behind a vehicle, which also increases the risk of a crash. The software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air update, which will be free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on June 16. The recall number is 25C21.

Mike Tomlin gives hilarious compliment of Yahya Black: 'There's F-150s — he's an F-350'
Mike Tomlin gives hilarious compliment of Yahya Black: 'There's F-150s — he's an F-350' The theme of the Steelers' 2025 NFL Draft was clear as Day 3 concluded — defense, defense, and more defense, with a specific emphasis on stopping the run. One of the fantastic run defenders drafted in the sixth round by the Steelers is none other than 6'6", 336-pound Iowa DT Yahya Black. At the Steelers' Post-Draft Press Conference, Mike Tomlin used a hilarious comparison to describe how Black fits into Pittsburgh's defense: "Like I've been saying throughout the draft process — he's a big chassis. There's F-150s. He's an F-350. He's a big man and is really stout against the run. You can always use a skill set like that, certainly." When it comes to being a defensive lineman, there's arguably no better compliment than being compared to the size and strength of a Ford F-350. The Steelers brought Black in for a pre-draft top-30 visit — and they couldn't pass up the opportunity to bring his talents to the Steel City with the 164th overall pick.

Ford Stock (NYSE:F) Gains Despite Hit to Missouri Corn Farms
Those not familiar with other aspects of the green energy movement may not be familiar with ethanol, a combustible fuel made from, among other things, corn. But legacy automaker Ford (F) seems to be getting away from ethanol and going to electric instead, a move that is leaving Missouri's corn farmers in the lurch. Investors, meanwhile, seemed to give little heed to this notion, and sent shares up nearly 2% in Friday afternoon's trading. Stay Ahead of the Market: Discover outperforming stocks and invest smarter with Top Smart Score Stocks. Filter, analyze, and streamline your search for investment opportunities using Tipranks' Stock Screener. Recently, Ford stopped offering the 'flex fuel' option in the F-150 pickup, a move that left ethanol producers—and the corn farmers that produced the corn that became ethanol—stymied. Since the F-150 was the leading truck option in the United States, the end result meant a lot of flex fuel that was no longer being used. Instead, Ford is pursuing electric vehicles in a bid to improve overall fuel efficiency figures as well as provide the 'greener' alternatives that some customers want. This in turn is leaving Ford in somewhat of an odd spot: large numbers of people who would have bought F-150s are now largely out in the cold, if they want one with a flex fuel option that uses the material they grow and process for that fuel. So, now, it becomes a matter of how many F-150 sales will Ford lose because ethanol fueling is no longer an option? No More Boring Cars Continues We know that Ford has been actively working to get past the 'boring cars' concept, and has embracing off-road and other such cars in the process. Reports suggest the latest Bronco is getting a bit of an upgrade in that regard, with a new Sasquatch package that adds a range of useful features from improved suspension to skid plates, and even knobby tires. Finally, Ford won a bit of a victory overseas, as Ford delivered big van sales for March 2025 in the United Kingdom. Normally, the Transit is the third-best seller, behind its smaller equivalent the Transit Custom and the Vauxhall Vivaro. But in March's figures, Ford managed to dominate the whole top three in light commercial vehicles, with the Transit in third, the Ford Ranger in second, and the Transit Custom on top. Is Ford Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on F stock based on three Buys, eight Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 20.73% loss in its share price over the past year, the average F price target of $9.81 per share implies 5.26% upside potential.
