    Case Study: The Ford "Loss of Thrust" Recall
    Introduction: Understanding Product Safety in Action
    A vehicle recall is a critical tool for consumer safety, issued when a manufacturer or government agency determines that a vehicle model has a safety-related defect. It represents a formal process to correct the problem, usually at no cost to the owner.
    A large-scale Ford recall, officially filed for 2025 and affecting over one million vehicles, serves as a clear example of this process. This case study will break down the specific defect, its widespread impact, and the structured corrective action to illustrate key concepts in product safety and regulatory oversight.
    1. The Problem: Identifying the Core Defect
    To initiate a successful recall, the problem must be understood with precision. This involves defining the specific failure, its root cause, and the resulting risk to the consumer.
    • Defining the Failure The specific defect identified in the affected Ford vehicles is a "loss of thrust at high temperatures."
    • Pinpointing the Cause The root cause of this failure was traced to an "inadequate fuel supply," suggesting a potential fault within the fuel injection system.
    • Explaining the Safety Risk Synthesizing these points reveals the primary safety implication for a driver. An inadequate fuel supply can cause the vehicle to suddenly lose power or "thrust," especially under demanding conditions like high temperatures. This unexpected loss of acceleration or propulsion can significantly increase the risk of a collision, particularly in high-speed traffic situations.
    This clearly identified defect was found to affect a vast number of vehicles across multiple popular models.

    Honda Civic Wheel Recall: An Incident Analysis of a Supply Chain Quality Control Failure
    1.0 Incident Overview
    In the automotive industry, recalls are often symptoms of process control failures within the global supply chain. The recall affecting 2016–2021 Honda Civic models is a critical case study that illustrates how a localized process control failure at a Tier 1 supplier can result in wide-reaching consequences for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). This analysis deconstructs the incident to identify its root cause, scope, and the lessons it offers for supply chain quality management.

    Core Defect
    Missing lug seat inserts on 18-inch aluminum wheels
    Identified Root Cause
    Manufacturing process error at an Italian supplier
    This summary outlines the core facts of the recall, which resulted from a specific manufacturing defect with significant safety implications.
    2.0 Technical Breakdown of the Manufacturing Defect
    The integrity of a vehicle's wheel assembly is fundamental to vehicle safety. This section deconstructs the component failure at the heart of the Honda recall to clarify the direct safety risk involved.
    The core defect was the absence of lug seat inserts on certain aluminum wheels. These are hard steel inserts pressed into the softer aluminum alloy where the lug nuts make contact. Their primary function is to provide a durable, load-bearing surface that prevents the softer aluminum from galling or deforming under the high clamping force of tightened lug nuts. Without these inserts, the aluminum contact area could become deformed, reducing the clamping force and causing the lug nuts to work loose. The ultimate potential consequence of this failure sequence is the detachment of the wheel from the vehicle while in motion.

    The root cause of this recall stems from a specific manufacturing defect, as detailed in the following analysis.
    2.0 Detailed Defect Analysis
    A precise root cause analysis has identified a component specification failure as the primary defect. This failure is centered on a critical electrical assembly.
    The root cause is a manufacturing defect; specifically, the screws utilized on the cover plate of the rear fuse box are too long.
    The direct physical impact of this defect is that the oversized screws make contact with the adjacent wiring harness. This contact causes physical damage to the wiring harness, which is the primary failure point identified in this incident. This breach in the wiring harness's integrity creates multiple vectors for critical system failure and presents a significant fire risk.
