CASE ALLEGATIONS: Ford is an automotive manufacturing company that develops, delivers, and services a range of trucks, cars, and luxury vehicles worldwide.
The Ford class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Ford had deficiencies in its quality assurance of vehicle models since 2022; (ii) as a result, Ford was experiencing higher warranty costs; (iii) Ford’s warranty reserves did not accurately reflect the quality issues in vehicles sold since 2022; and (iv) as such, Ford’s profitability was reasonably likely to suffer.
The Ford class action lawsuit further alleges that on July 24, 2024, Ford announced second quarter 2024 financial results, revealing that Ford’s “[p]rofitability was affected by an increase in warranty reserves” and “higher warranty costs.” As a result, Ford also revised its outlook for full year earnings for its electric vehicle segment to “reflect[] higher warranty costs than originally planned,” according to the complaint. 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, according to the complaint. On this news, Ford’s share price fell more than 18%, according to the Ford class action lawsuit.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Ford securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Ford class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Ford class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Ford class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Ford class action lawsuit.
