Ford Recalls 300,000 Mustang Mach-Es Over Door Glitch!
In a major move, Ford announced a global recall of over 317,000 Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles due to a critical software glitch that could lock passengers out or trap them inside, prompting an immediate stop-sale order on 20 June 2025. The defect, tied to a 12-volt battery discharge, has sparked widespread concerns about safety and Ford's electric vehicle reliability, particularly as the company ramps up its EV ambitions. Investigate the Recall Issue The car major is recalling approximately 317,000 Mustang Mach-E vehicles worldwide, including 196,911 in the United States, due to a 12-volt battery issue that causes electronic door latches to malfunction, per Electrek . The glitch, affecting vehicles produced between 2021 and 2025, may prevent doors from unlocking or opening, posing significant risks in emergency situations, such as accidents or fires. No crashes or injuries have been reported, but the issue has frustrated owners, with X posts like @ElectrekCo's on 19 June 2025 highlighting concerns about safety and reliability. Ford has halted all Mach-E deliveries, test drives, and demonstrations until a software fix is available, a move that underscores the urgency of the defect, per Inside EVs . Identify Affected Models The recall encompasses all Mustang Mach-E variants manufactured from 2021 to 2025, including Select, Premium, GT, and Extended Range models, with an additional 32,569 units affected in Canada, per Yahoo Autos . A separate US recall of 276 2025 Mach-Es addresses defective park rods that could increase crash risks, compounding owner concerns. Ford urges owners to verify their vehicle's status by contacting the company at 1-866-436-7332 or checking the NHTSA website, using recall numbers issued for Q3 2025 notifications. X sentiment, such as @DriveTeslaca's post on 20 June 2025, notes the inconvenience of requiring dealer visits for the fix, as the issue cannot be resolved via an over-the-air update, frustrating tech-savvy EV owners. Assess Ford's Response and Impact Ford is developing a software update, slated for release in Q3 2025, to address the battery issue, with dealers offering free repairs to affected vehicles, per Electrek . The recall adds to Ford's mounting challenges, as the company leads the industry with 76 recalls in 2025, according to NHTSA data mentioned in a Reuters report. Despite these setbacks, Mustang Mach-E sales climbed 11% in May 2025, reaching 4,724 units, and grew 2.8% year-to-date, reflecting strong demand for the £31,200 ($42,000) base model. However, recurring issues could erode consumer confidence in Ford's £4 billion ($5.3 billion) EV investment, per Automotive News . The stop-sale order may disrupt supply chains and dealership operations, raising questions about Ford's quality control processes in its electric vehicle lineup. Safeguarding EV Owners Ahead Ford's recall of 317,000 Mustang Mach-Es highlights the complexities of scaling electric vehicle production while ensuring safety and reliability. The promised software update and proactive stop-sale measures demonstrate Ford's commitment to addressing the issue, but persistent recalls severely challenge its reputation in the fiercely competitive EV market. The owners must remain proactive, diligently checking their vehicle's recall status to ensure safety, while Ford faces mounting pressure to bolster quality assurance, enhance manufacturing precision, streamline production processes, and restore consumer trust in its ambitious electric future, ensuring long-term reliability for its growing EV customer base.

New ETFs Offer Exposure to Top Picks of Elite Investors
On Wednesday, Tidal Trust filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer seven exchange-traded funds that may look familiar if you invest in funds from successful investors. The preliminary prospectus shows that VistaShares plans to launch the following new ETFs: VistaShares Pershing Square Select ETF VistaShares Target 15 Pershing Square Select Income ETF VistaShares Scion Asset Management Select ETF VistaShares Target 15 Scion Asset Management Select Income ETF VistaShares Duquesne Select ETF VistaShares Target 15 Duquesne Select Income ETF VistaShares Berkshire Select ETF The funds are based on other firms' 13F filings. Tidal Investments LLC is listed as the investment adviser of the funds while VistaShares Advisors LLC is listed as the subadviser. The management fees and tickers were not included in the filing, and the effective date would be August 11, 2025. The various funds would offer investors access to investment picks of some of the most famous and successful investors, such as Michael Burry of Scion Asset Management—best known for his part in predicting the 2008 stock market crash that went on to be portrayed in the film "The Big Short"—and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who runs Pershing Square Holdings. The VistaShares Pershing Square Select ETF, for example, invests in a portfolio of stocks based on the BITA VistaShares Pershing Square Capital Management Portfolio Top Picks Index, which includes up to 20 equities selected by Pershing Square. The other firms whose picks VistaShares includes in the new offerings are the Duquesne Family Office, run by Stanley Druckenmiller, and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. This isn't a new move for VistaShares. In March, the firm launched the VistaShares Target 15 Berkshire Select Income ETF (OMAH), which provides investors with exposure to some of Berkshire Hathaway's most representative equity holdings. Smaller ETF issuers are looking for ways to offer innovative solutions for the "alternatives" sleeve of investor portfolios because there are already many low-cost, core ETFs available from large ETF issuers like Blackrock and Vanguard, who have the scale to sustain very low fees, Aniket Ullal, senior vice president and head of ETF research and analytics with CFRA, told 'Targeting more niche strategies allows issuers to stay profitable by charging higher fees for more specialized solutions,' Ullal | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
