In six months, Ford has issued more safety recalls than any automaker has in a full year, ever

Earlier this week, Ford issued a safety recall for 850,000 SUVs and pickups over a fuel pump issue. The automaker is no stranger to the process.

Through the end of June, it issued 88 safety recalls, the most in the auto industry, by a lot.

In fact, Ford’s issued 4x as many safety recalls than the second-highest automaker on the list, an RV company. The 88 figure is more than any other automaker’s full-year safety recall total, ever.

It’s costly, too. Ford reported it made $1.46 billion in payments for warranty and field service actions in the first quarter, more than $16 million per day.

Delta says the government shutdown will cost it $200 million in Q4

The 43-day government shutdown that ended last month will result in a $200 million ding for Delta Air Lines, the airline said in a filing on Wednesday.

That’s about $100,000 per shutdown-related canceled flight. (Delta previously said it canceled more than 2,000 flights due to FAA flight reductions.) When the company reports its fourth-quarter earnings, the shutdown will lop off about $0.25 per share.

Delta initially stayed calm about the shutdown, with CEO Ed Bastian stating in early October that the company was running smoothly and hadn’t seen any impacts at all. One historically long shutdown later, Delta wasn’t able to remain untouched.

The skies have since cleared, though, and Delta’s filing states that booking growth has “returned to initial expectations following a temporary softening in November.”

Delta’s shares were up over 2% as of Wednesday’s market open.
