Ford faced two recalls totaling 615,964 vehicles (604,533 for windshield-wiper motor across 2020–2022 Explorers, Escapes, Aviators and Corsairs; 11,431 for a driveshaft friction weld issue) that spooked investors, sending Ford (F) shares down more than 4% in Thursday trading.

Dividend Pause Reshapes Auto Stock Playbook

Stellantis’ $25.9 billion one‑time charges tied to its EV push and warranty costs have led to a suspension of the 2026 dividend, underscoring how aggressive EV bets can strain cash flow; GM and Ford have weathered the period with differing stock paths.

With the dividend in question, investors may reconsider Stellantis and look at stronger automakers like Ferrari or GM as potential alternatives until profitability and cash flow stabilize.
