The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Ford Motor Company (F) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors:
(1) that the Company had deficiencies in its quality assurance of vehicle models since 2022; (2) that as a result, the Company was experiencing higher warranty costs; (3) that the Company’s warranty reserves did not accurately reflect the quality issues in vehicles sold since 2022; and (4) that, as a result, the Company’s profitability was reasonably likely to suffer.

On July 24, 2024, after the market closed, Ford announced second quarter 2024 financial results, revealing that the Company’s “[p]rofitability was affected by an increase in warranty reserves” and “higher warranty costs.” As a result, the Company also revised its outlook for full year earnings for its electric vehicle segment to “reflect[] higher warranty costs than originally planned.” Analysts and journalists, including The Associated Press and The Washington Post, reported that, in the second quarter, warranty and recall costs totaled $2.3 billion, $800 million more than the first quarter and $700 million more than a year prior. On this news, the Company’s share price fell $2.51, or 18.36%, to close at $11.16 per share on July 25, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
