Buckle up: another Tesla recall

Tesla has issued another recall, this one over seat belts that fail to warn drivers when they’re unbelted, Reuters reports. The struggling electric car company has issued a number of recalls this year, including two for its long-awaited Cybertruck, amid a 14% decline in its stock price. This is all while its CEO Elon Musk fights for shareholder approval for his record $56 billion pay package. The latest recall affects 125,000 cars and is just the latest example of chaos in Tesla town. The company plans to release an over-the-air software update to fix this issue, with deployment expected to start in June.

Ford dips as another large fire breaks out at the New York Novelis aluminum plant

Shares of US auto giant Ford are down more than 2% on Thursday morning following reports of another major fire at its primary aluminum supplier’s plant in Oswego County, New York.

Local media reported that a four-alarm fire broke out at the Novelis plant, which supplies 40% of the aluminum sheet for the US auto industry, on Thursday morning.

Last month, Ford said a September fire at the plant would hit its earnings by between $1.5 billion and $2 billion in the fourth quarter. The company said it would be able to mitigate about $1 billion of that next year.

As of 10:15 a.m. ET, local officials said the fire is under control and everyone had been safely evacuated. Novelis previously said it would be able to restart operations at the part of the plant most damaged by the September fire next month.
