The company is partnering with automakers to use their cars and trucks to showcase its technology brand and develop a lineup of vehicles.The brand-building approach takes a page from the old Saleen and Shelby works, tuners and stylists of limited-edition, high-performance vehicles based on Ford Mustangs and pickups. But it's a more democratic version of that concept. T...

The carmaker issued a recall which affects around 312, 00 UK vehicles after a BBC investigation showed the scale of the problem.
