In a statement Thursday, the NHTSA said that these car owners "should watch for recall notifications from Ford Motor Co. and take action when it's time to get the free repair." That involves removing some insulation material and applying heat-resistant tape. The recall will be costly – as the AP reported, "Ford said in a filing Thursday with U.S. securities regulators that the recall will cost about $140 million and will be counted in third-quarter results." Ford's stock value was down more than 0.6 percent by mid-afternoon on Thursday. According to Reuters, some of the faulty parts were built by Takata, the maker of airbags that were the subject of the largest automotive recall in U.S. history: "Ford said the components in the older 2015-2017 models were built by Takata, which was acquired by Ningbo Joyson Electronic Corp, while ZF Friedrichshafen AG built the parts starting with the 2018 model year." Toyota also announced that it was recalling cars this week.
