Ford dealers file class action over warranty reimbursement shortfalls
F
Legal Proceedings
  • Hagens Berman filed a class-action lawsuit against Ford, alleging the automaker systematically underpaid warranty reimbursements for parts and labor—particularly high-cost EV battery replacements—since Dec. 1, 2022.
  • One plaintiff replaced 28 EV batteries since early 2024; at the statutory markup of $22,600 per battery (totaling $632,800), Ford allegedly reimbursed only $600 per battery, leaving a shortfall of over $615,000.
  • Ford’s EV sales were down 10% in the first seven months of 2025 despite selling over 240,000 EVs, while its Model e division reported losses exceeding $5 billion.
  • The suit seeks monetary relief for affected dealerships nationwide under New York’s Franchised Motor Vehicle Dealer Act for failure to provide required mark-up reimbursements.

Ford Motor to dissolve BlueOval SK battery joint venture
F
M&A
Demand Weakening
  • Ford and SK On will dissolve their BlueOval SK U.S. battery joint venture, with SK On taking full ownership of the 45 GWh Tennessee plant and Ford assuming the Kentucky facilities; closing is expected by end of Q1 2026, subject to regulatory approval.
  • The partners had invested about $11.4 billion toward three factories (originally planned for 120 GWh capacity), but only one Kentucky site is operating as the other two were delayed amid weakening EV demand.
  • Strategic divergence: Ford is shifting toward lower-cost LFP battery chemistry and rebalancing production following softer EV adoption and U.S. regulatory changes, while SK On, lacking commercial automotive LFP tech, is pivoting to energy storage systems and profitability.
  • Post-breakup, SK On will continue supplying batteries from the Tennessee plant and drive U.S. battery innovation, while Ford will independently operate its Kentucky plants with flexible production timing.
