Total US auto sales in May stood at 1,51 million vehicle units, which is about 0.5 lower than the car sales in US last year for the same month. Still, the May US auto sales figures were much stronger than its ~1.42 million vehicle units sold in April 2017. In May 2017, the US small car sales fell 9.3% YoY (year-over-year), while US truck sales rose 6.0% YoY. Weak small car sales were the primary reason for the overall lower US auto sales in May. US auto sales have dropped 2.0% YoY in the first five months of 2017 to ~6.98 million vehicle units. The US is the largest auto market in N...
Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday issued two recalls for approximately 3,000 vehicles in North America. The largest involves a call-back of about 2,500 2017 Explorer SUVs, F-150 and Super Duty pickups. The affected vehicles have an improper weld between the driver seat back and the manually operated seat back recliner mechanism that may fail to comply with certain federal motor vehicle safety standards. The vehicles include:• 2017 Ford F-150s built at Dearborn Assembly Plant from Dec. 11 2016 to Dec. 16, 2016.• 2017 F-150s built at Kansas City Assembly Plant Dec. 8, 2016 to Dec....
In February 2017, Ford’s F-Series truck US sales stood at 65,956 units with a YoY increase of ~9%. During the month, the strong demand for the newly launched F-Series Super Duty trucks continued in the company’s Retail segment. As a result, February 2017 was the best month for the company’s F-Series sales in the last 13 years. This strength was consistent with the robust retail sales performance of F-Series trucks in January 2017. In January 2016, the company sold 57,995 units of F-Series trucks, which was 13% higher on a YoY basis. These strengthening sales of Fo...
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy confirmed on Friday that the agency will maintain its 2025 greenhouse-gas emissions targets. While some automakers have said that reaching those goals would be cost-prohibitive, McCarthy wrote that "automakers are well positioned to meet the standards through model year 2025 at lower costs than predicted." The timing is fortuitous with a week left in the Obama Administration, as there has been fear among environmentalists that President-elect Donald Trump may roll back some of those emissions-reduction efforts. &...

Ford says it’s sold more than 26 million since the model line came out in 1977. The F-series has also been the best-selling vehicle of any kind in America for 35 years, the company said.
