O'Reilly Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, '25 Revenue Outlook Raised

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – July 18, 2025 – Zacks Equity Research shares Credo Technology CRDO as the Bull of the Day and PVH Corp. PVH as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Ford Motor Company F, Ferrari N.V. RACE and PACCAR Inc. PCAR.
Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:
Credo Technology, a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) provides innovative, secure, high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver improved power efficiency as data rates and corresponding bandwidth requirements increase exponentially throughout the data infrastructure market.
The company's EPS outlook remains bullish across the board, with the stock sporting the highly-coveted Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Let's take a closer look at how the company presently stacks up.
CRDO Benefits from AI
Credo's latest set of strong quarterly results was fueled by continued strong demand for its services, with the company a big beneficiary of the AI frenzy. The increased AI spend is undoubtedly set to continue for years, positioning the company nicely to continue reaping the benefits and reflecting a somewhat 'under-the-radar' play on the broader AI movement.
CRDO crushed our consensus expectations in the above-mentioned release, with sales up a rock-solid 180% year-over-year.
The favorable print rounded out its rock-solid FY25, with CEO Bill Brennan delivering a notably positive statement following the release –
"I'm proud of Credo's achievements in fiscal 2025. For the year, the Company delivered record-breaking financial results, with revenue up 126% year over year to $436.8 million. The Company's results were fueled by surging demand for our innovative, reliable, and energy-efficient high-performance connectivity solutions. We continue to see growing demand for our solutions across hyperscaler customers to power advanced AI services, a trend we believe will persist for the foreseeable future."
The stock remains a prime pick for those seeking high-growth, with current Zacks Consensus estimates for its current fiscal year (FY26) suggesting 110% EPS growth on 85% higher sales. Growth is currently expected to spill over nicely into FY27, with EPS and revenue forecasted to be up 22% and 21%, respectively.
The stock sports a Style Score of 'A' for Growth. Shares continue to deliver rock-solid gains, up 15% just over the last month and outperforming the Zacks Technology sector by a big margin.
Bottom Line
Investors can implement a stellar strategy to find expected winners by taking advantage of the Zacks Rank – one of the most powerful market tools that provides a massive edge.
The top 5% of all stocks receive the highly coveted Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). These stocks should outperform the market in the near-term more than any other rank.
Credo Technology is currently a Zack Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
PVH Corp. specializes in designing and marketing branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, intimate apparel, swim products, footwear, handbags, and related products worldwide.
Analysts have taken a bearish stance on the stock's outlook, lowering their earnings expectations across the board and landing it into an unfavorable Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
In addition, the company is in the Zacks Textile – Apparel industry, which is currently ranked in the bottom 9% of all Zacks industries. Let's take a closer look at the company.
PVH Shares Face Pressure
PVH shares have faced considerable pressure so far in 2025, down more than 30% and widely underperforming. Shares faced a plunge following the latest quarterly release, with sales up a modest 1.6% alongside a 6% decline in EPS.
Zac Coughlin, CFO, is aware of the recent struggles, stating –
"We drove solid first quarter results, which included low-single digit revenue growth and non-GAAP earnings per share above our guidance. We are navigating a highly dynamic and uncertain macroeconomic environment that is impacting our industry, our consumers, and our business results. We are reaffirming our revenue guidance for the year but are decreasing our outlook for profitability and earnings per share to reflect that backdrop and the current performance of our business. Our focus remains on taking proactive measures, including investing in cut-through marketing campaigns and delivering increasing cost efficiencies through execution of our Growth Driver 5 multi-year cost savings initiative, that will improve our trajectory in the second half."
Bottom Line
Slowing growth paints a challenging picture for the company's shares in the near term.
PVH is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), indicating that analysts have taken a bearish stance on the company's earnings outlook.
For those seeking strong stocks, a great idea would be to focus on stocks carrying a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) – these stocks sport a notably stronger earnings outlook paired with the potential to deliver explosive gains in the near term.

Ford Leads in Number of Recalls, Faces Costly Penalties
Ford Motor Company has been outdoing all automakers in the number of recalls this year. In its latest recall, Ford had to pull out 694,271 SUVs in the United States and its territories. Models including 2021-24 Bronco Sport, 2020-22 Escape and 2019-24 Kuga vehicles were a part of this recall, amounting to about 858,000 vehicles globally. The impacted vehicles have a problem with fuel leaks that could heighten the risk of the vehicle catching on fire. The company is subject to a cost of $570 million, owing to the blow from the recall in its second quarter 2025 results.
NHTSA filing states that fuel injectors in some vehicles may crack, causing leaks that could lead to a fire. Drivers might notice a fuel smell, warning lights, smoke, or flames. According to NHTSA's data, Ford has been topping recall filings since 2020, signaling its struggle with quality. Ford's consent order with NHTSA might also be a reason why old and new recalls have been surfacing lately. This consent order also resulted in Ford agreeing to pay up to $165 million in fines, the second-largest civil penalty in NHTSA history, following the Takata airbag case.
Ford has responded to this issue with a software update that would redirect fuel away from ignition sources, but only as a temporary fix. Although no injuries resulting from this issue have been reported, eight vehicles experienced underhood fires. Ford claims that six of these vehicles had not been installed with the recommended software update. The company had a history of two similar issues that resulted in a recall of 42,000 vehicles. This recall supersedes the prior recalls, for which remedy developments are underway.
Shares of Ford have slumped 16.7% over the past year compared with the industry's 4.2% decline.
F's Zacks Rank & Key Picks
F currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
A few better-ranked stocks in the auto space are Ferrari N.V. and PACCAR Inc. and Westport Fuel Systems. While RACE sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present, PCAR carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) each. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RACE's current-year earnings is pegged at $9.89 per share, indicating a 7.97% year-over-year rise.Its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 10.75%. RACE's shares have gained 15.8% in the past year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PCAR's 2025 earnings is pegged at $5.72 per share. The company's earnings beat the consensus estimate in one of the trailing four quarters, while missing it in the rest.

Credo Technology and PVH have been highlighted as Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day

Ford Motor CompanyF has been outdoing all automakers in the number of recalls this year. In its latest recall, Ford had to pull out 694,271 SUVs in the United States and its territories. Models including 2021-24 Bronco Sport, 2020-22 Escape and 2019-24 Kuga vehicles were a part of this recall, amounting to about 858,000 vehicles globally. The impacted vehicles have a problem with fuel leaks that could heighten the risk of the vehicle catching on fire. The company is subject to a cost of $570 million, owing to the blow from the recall in its second quarter 2025 results.
NHTSA filing states that fuel injectors in some vehicles may crack, causing leaks that could lead to a fire. Drivers might notice a fuel smell, warning lights, smoke, or flames. According to NHTSA’s data, Ford has been topping recall filings since 2020, signaling its struggle with quality. Ford’s consent order with NHTSA might also be a reason why old and new recalls have been surfacing lately. This consent order also resulted in Ford agreeing to pay up to $165 million in fines, the second-largest civil penalty in NHTSA history, following the Takata airbag case.
Ford has responded to this issue with a software update that would redirect fuel away from ignition sources, but only as a temporary fix. Although no injuries resulting from this issue have been reported, eight vehicles experienced underhood fires. Ford claims that six of these vehicles had not been installed with the recommended software update. The company had a history of two similar issues that resulted in a recall of 42,000 vehicles. This recall supersedes the prior recalls, for which remedy developments are underway.
Shares of Ford have slumped 16.7% over the past year compared with the industry’s 4.2% decline.

Ford Leads in the Number of Recalls, Faces Costly Penalties

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – July 16, 2025 – Zacks Equity Research shares Ferrari RACE as the Bull of the Day and Gilat Satellite Networks GILT as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on ExxonMobil XOM, Shell SHEL and BP BP.
Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:
Ferrari is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) that has an D for Value and an A for Growth. A recent earnings beat has this stock in the spotlight. This luxury auto maker will report earnings again at the end of the month and with the economy remaining resilient we might see a boost in sales. If that continues the stock will grow into is rather high valuation. Let's learn more about why this stock is the Bull of the Day.
Description
Ferrari NV is a holding company, which engages in the design, engineering, production, and sale of luxury sports cars. The firm's models include the F12Berlinetta, 488GTB, 488 Spider, 458 Speciale, California T, the LaFerrari Hybrid, LaFerrari, and the FF four-wheel drive. It participates in car racing such as Formula One. The company was founded by Enzo Anselmo Ferrari in 1939 and is headquartered in Maranello, Italy.
Earnings History
When I look at a stock, the first thing I do is look to see if the company is beating the number. This tells me right away where the market's expectations have been for the company and how management has communicated to the market. A stock that consistently beats has management communicating expectations to Wall Street that can be achieved. That is what you want to see.
Ferrari has posted four consecutive beats of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The takeaway from the earnings history is that the company has an average positive earnings surprise of 10.78% over the last year.
The most recent earnings print saw the company post $2.42 when the consensus was at $2.36. That 6 cent beat translates into a positive earnings surprise of 2.5%.
Earnings Estimates Revisions
Earnings estimate revisions is what the Zacks Rank is all about.
Estimates are moving higher for Ferrari.
The full year 2025 has seen a big move, going from $9.60 to $10.25 over the last 60 days.
2026 has increased from $10.81 to $11.61 over the same time period.
There is good growth projected for Ferrari. This fiscal year analysts are expecting $8.2B in revenue which would be good for 13.5% topline growth.
Next fiscal year, the consensus is calling for $9.04B and that would be good for 10.2%.
Valuation
The forward PE for Ferrari is up there at 47.5x, but that number would drop with higher earnings. Given the solid revenue growth, that multiple could fall further in margins improve. Price to book is at 31.35x and that is high for an auto manufacturer so the value conscious investors will not be interested in this stock. Price to sales comes it at a lofty 16x.
Gilat Satellite Networks is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) after the company recently posted a miss but the stock has soared since that earnings report. This article will look at why this stock is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) as it is the Bear of the Day.
Description
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. engages in the provision of broadband satellite communication and networking solutions and services. It operates through the following business segments: Fixed Networks, Mobility Solutions, and Terrestrial Infrastructure Projects. The Fixed Networks segment provides advanced fixed broadband satellite communication networks, satellite communication systems and associated professional services and comprehensive turnkey solutions and fully managed satellite network services solutions.
The Mobility Solutions segment provides advanced on-the-move satellite communications equipment, systems, and solutions, including airborne, maritime and ground-mobile satellite systems and solutions. The Terrestrial Infrastructure Projects segment provides network infrastructure construction of the fiber and microwave network of PRONATEL in Peru. The company was founded by Yoel Gat, Gideon Kaplan, Amiram Levinberg, Joshua Levinberg, and Shlomo Tirosh in 1987 and is headquartered in Petah Tikva, Israel.
Earnings History
When I look at a stock, the first thing I do is look to see if the company is beating the number. This tells me right away where the market's expectations have been for the company and how management has communicated to the market. A stock that consistently beats has management communicating expectations to Wall Street that can be achieved. That is what you want to see.
In the case of Gilat Satellite Networks I see the company has beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters that Zacks has data for. This alone does not make the stock a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and it doesn't make it a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) either.
The Zacks Rank does care about the earnings history, but it is much more heavily influenced by the movement of earnings estimates.
Earnings Estimates
The Zacks Rank tells us which stocks are seeing earnings estimates move higher or in this case lower. For Gilat Satellite Networks I see annual estimates moving lower of late.
The current fiscal year consensus number moved lower from $0.50 to $0.33 over the last 60 days.
The next year has moved from $0.76 to $0.72 over the last 60 days.
Negative movement in earnings estimates like that is why this stock is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
It should be noted that a lot of stocks in the Zacks universe are seeing negative earnings estimate revisions. That means that the stocks that are seeing small but negative earnings estimate revisions are falling to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

Big Oil's Q2 Outlook: Downstream Gains, Upstream Pains
The upcoming earnings reports for big oil and energy companies will tell a story of two different worlds. On the one hand, we will likely see lower profits from simply drilling for oil and gas (or the 'upstream' side of the business). On the other hand, businesses that refine crude oil into products like gasoline and make chemicals (known as 'downstream') might show surprising strength.
Major players like ExxonMobil, Shell and BP have already given us hints. They are seeing profits squeezed from falling oil and gas prices. So, as these companies share their results in the coming weeks, everyone will be watching their ability to control costs, how well their refineries performed, and if demand for energy is truly recovering.
ExxonMobil: Leaning on Refineries to Counter Lower Prices
ExxonMobil, the world's largest integrated energy company, expects its second-quarter earnings to take a hit because of lower oil and gas prices. The American supermajor recently warned that its upstream earnings could fall by as much as $1.9 billion from the first-quarter level. This big drop is mostly due to oil prices bringing in $1.2 billion less, and natural gas prices adding up to a $700 million hit. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration ("EIA") confirms this trend: WTI crude oil averaged just $63.54 in April and $68.17 in June, down from $75.74 in January.
But it's not all bad news for ExxonMobil. It might actually see a modest boost from its refining and chemical businesses, with refining profits potentially adding between $100 million and $500 million. However, planned maintenance work and other timing issues could lessen those gains. With the Zacks Consensus Estimate for ExxonMobil's EPS down nearly 33% from last year to $1.44, the pressure is squarely on its non-drilling segments to stabilize the overall results.
BP: Production Up, But Prices Down
London-based BP is heading into its second-quarter earnings with a mixed bag of expectations. On the bright side, the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company expects to pump out more oil and gas than initially predicted, and even more than it did in the first quarter. This boost is largely thanks to higher output from their U.S. shale operations. However, BP has also warned that lower crude oil prices will hit its drilling profits hard, by about $800 million. Weaker natural gas prices are also expected to weigh on earnings, though to a lesser extent.
Where BP might really shine is in its refining business. It anticipates refining profits jumping from $15.20 per barrel in the first quarter to $21.10 in the second. This could potentially boost its "customers and products" segment by $300 million to $500 million. Plus, BP expects its total debt to dip below the first-quarter level of $27 billion, indicating sound financial management. With the consensus EPS mark at 60 cents (down 40% from last year), any gains from refining will be vital in cushioning the blow from weaker oil and gas prices.
Shell: Navigating Headwinds With Refining Strength
Europe's largest oil company, Shell, is also facing a challenging quarter, with several parts of its business dealing with headwinds. The company expects second-quarter average production for its Integrated Gas division to be 900,000–940,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day compared with 927,000 achieved in the January-March period. LNG output is now expected to be between 6.4 million and 6.8 million tons, and gas trading results are likely to be weaker than in the first quarter. On the traditional drilling side, production is expected to decline to 1.66 million–1.76 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, due to both scheduled maintenance and the sale of its Nigerian SPDC assets.
Still, Shell's refining margins look strong, rising from $6.20 per barrel in the first quarter to $8.90 per barrel in the second. This is supported by better utilization of its refineries. However, the company's chemicals business is expected to report a loss due to unplanned shutdowns at its Monaca plant. Shell's renewables and energy solutions segment's bottom line will likely be between $400 million loss and $200 million profit. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Shell's EPS is pegged at $1.44, down 27% from last year, as the company relies on its marketing and refining arms to offset broader weak
The Outlook: Silver Linings for Energy Investors
As is evident, the refining side of the energy business is showing remarkable strength. Companies like ExxonMobil, BP and Shell are seeing much better profits from turning crude oil into fuels and other products. That's why, despite the pressure on oil and gas drilling operations due to lower prices, the second-quarter outlook for energy investors isn't entirely gloomy.
Looking ahead, global demand for oil remains steady, with summer travel and increased electricity use driving higher consumption. Demand for natural gas in the United States is also growing stronger, thanks to mid-summer heat and improving flows of LNG exports. As companies maintain discipline in their supply and excess inventories slowly return to normal levels, the stage could be set for firmer prices in the second half of 2025.
Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren't winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks' Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

Ferrari and Gilat Satellite Networks have been highlighted as Zacks Bull and Bear of the Day

Ford Motor (NYSE:F) is facing continued scrutiny in 2025 over its vehicle quality and safety standards, as the company leads the U.S. auto industry in safety recalls by a wide margin. Through the first half of the year, Ford has issued 88 recalls – more than four times that of the next manufacturer, according to federal data. Just last week, Ford announced another major recall affecting 850,000 pickup trucks and SUVs due to a potential fuel pump failure that could cause the engine to stall during operation, posing a serious risk to drivers. Also, see the potential for growth in Google Stock To $350?
What does this mean for Ford and investors? The implications are significant. Quality lapses could hurt consumer trust, and inflate warranty and recall costs. Ford stock remains down by about 15% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 is up 11%, reflecting investor concern over the company’s mounting operational and reputational challenges. Separately, cryptocurrencies have started to move again. See Will The Rally In XRP Price Continue?
How The Recalls Impact Ford
The escalating number of recalls could prove expensive. Ford must cover the expenses of repairing or replacing defective components across millions of vehicles. This would include the cost of parts, labor, and logistical expenses to manage the recall process. More importantly, the steady stream of safety issues might hurt consumer trust and Ford’s reputation for reliability. As quality concerns mount, Ford risks losing market share to competitors who are perceived as more dependable, particularly as the auto industry eventually pivots toward electrification. CEO Jim Farley has already acknowledged Ford’s disadvantage in this space, noting the company is trailing Chinese automakers that now have a lead in several global EV markets.
These quality issues are already hitting Ford’s bottom line. Warranty costs have become a persistent drag, surging 22% to $6 billion in 2024, largely driven by recall-related repairs. Since recalls typically fall under warranty coverage, these new issues directly add to these costs. These issues weigh on margins and make it difficult for Ford to improve profitability, particularly as it forecasts a $5 billion to $5.4 billion loss in its electric vehicle segment this year.
How Ford Could Fix Issues
In response to these quality and cost challenges, Ford is doubling down on internal testing and product validation. Last year, CEO Farley has said that Ford is now “testing vehicles to failure” under extreme conditions to catch defects earlier in the development cycle. However, the company has warned that it could take up to 18 months before these changes begin to show results in lower warranty claims and better product reliability.
In the meantime, Ford’s core product lineup continues to show strength. The company reported a 14.2% year-over-year increase in U.S. sales during Q2 2025, reaching 612,095 units. Growth was driven primarily by strong demand for pickups such as the F-Series, Ranger, and Maverick, which collectively saw a 15% increase. F-Series sales rose 11.5% to 222,459 units – marking the best Q2 since 2019. Ford Pro Super Duty sales increased by 13.5%, while hybrid models also posted gains.
Notably, the Maverick achieved a record quarter with 48,041 units sold, with nearly 60% of buyers new to the Ford brand. The EV market is also cooling, with bellwether Tesla seeing deliveries drop nearly 14% in Q2. This could provide a breather for Ford, which has been a laggard in the space. Slower growth in EV demand could give Ford more time to monetize its gas-based vehicles and pricey pickups while getting its quality back on track.
While Ford Motor stock has been an underperformer, you could explore the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio, which has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (combination of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 benchmark indices) to produce strong returns for investors. Why is that? The quarterly rebalanced mix of large-, mid- and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks provided a responsive way to make the most of upbeat market conditions while limiting losses when markets head south, as detailed in RV Portfolio performance metrics.

Will Mounting Recalls Weigh on Ford Stock?

Tesla TSLA is set to release second-quarter 2025 results on July 23, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings and revenues is pegged at 40 cents per share and $22.6 billion, respectively.
The consensus mark for second-quarter earnings per share has declined by a cent in the past seven days. The estimate for the bottom line implies a 23% contraction from the year-ago levels. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues suggests a year-over-year decline of 11.3%.
In the last earnings season, the company missed earnings estimates. In the trailing four quarters, Tesla missed estimates thrice and beat once, with the average negative earnings surprise being 8.3%.
Tesla, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Factors to Shape Q2 Results
Tesla delivered 384,122 cars (373,728 Model 3/Y and 10,394 other models) worldwide in the second quarter. The figure declined 13.5% from the year-ago quarter, marking it the biggest quarterly sales drop in the company’s history. This was also its second consecutive quarterly drop. The deliveries also missed our estimate of 420,079 units.
In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla attributed weak deliveries to production disruption associated with the Model Y changeover. However, this doesn’t hold true for the second quarter as the new Model Y has been ramped up across factories. In fact, Tesla is producing more and building up inventories, which clearly indicates a demand problem. The sales took a big hit in Europe, especially. Tesla’s brand image is not the same as before. The company’s aging model lineup and CEO Elon Musk’s increasingly polarizing image have been hurting the company’s sales amid cut-throat competition.
We expect revenues from automotive sales to decline more than 6% in the to-be-reported quarter. Gross margins from automotive sales are expected at 15%, down 3 percentage points from the year-ago period.
While the automotive segment is likely to be under pressure, Tesla is set to benefit from increasing energy generation and storage revenues, thanks to the positive reception of Megapack and Powerwall products. In the second quarter of 2025, Tesla deployed 9.6 GWh of energy storage, reflecting an increase from 9.4 GWh in the corresponding quarter of 2024. We expect revenues from the Energy Generation/Storage segment to be $3.03 billion, suggesting an uptick on both a sequential and a year-over-year basis. Our estimate for Services/Other unit is pegged at $3.15 billion, implying growth of 20% year over year.
Tesla’s massive operating expenses and capital expenditures are likely to weigh on profits and limit cash flows. The company continues to invest heavily to expand gigafactory output, ramp up 4680 battery cell production, and enhance its Supercharger network. Spending is also elevated on AI-related technologies and upcoming product launches. Tesla expects capex in 2025 to remain at 2024’s elevated levels, alongside a rise in operating expenses.
What Does Our Model Say?

Tesla Q2 Earnings Preview: Will the EV Giant Disappoint Again?

Ford Motor Company F has announced its 89th recall this year due to issues in its low-pressure fuel pump. According to the report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, affected models are prone to a lack of fuel delivery and subsequent engine stall as a result of low-pressure fuel pump failure.
The recall will affect 850,318 Ford and Lincoln models made between 2021 and 2023. These include the 2021-2023 Bronco, Explorer, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550, as well as the 2021-2022 Mustang and the 2022 Expedition. Ford’s luxury models, the 2021-2023 Lincoln Aviator and the 2021-2022 Lincoln Navigator, may also be part of the recall.
Although the company anticipates only 10% of its recalled models to have faulty pumps, all models have to be recalled to identify the ones with the issue. As for the owners of the affected model, the company will be notifying them about the defects and later, when solutions arrive. Meanwhile, the company has warned owners of signs that might be visible prior to a possible pump failure. Signs can include a check engine light or a decrease in engine power. Failures are more likely to occur at high temperatures or if there is low fuel in the tank.
Including the 89th recall, Ford estimates that over 5 million vehicles were affected by recalls in 2025. This is the second-largest recall this year, following the recall of potentially 1.1 million vehicles across 17 models due to rearview camera malfunctions.
Shares of Ford have slumped 8.5% over the past year compared with the industry’s 7.1% decline.
