— Jim Farley
DIRECT QUOTE
“"We see this win as a first down payment on a much more consequential virtuous circle, going from initial quality to long-term durability, lowering our warranty costs even further, fewer recalls, stronger customer loyalty, more pricing power, and for our conquest and growth, improved resale value."”
— Jim Farley
DIRECT QUOTE
“"Consistently, our China and Mexico plants are the most compliant with process and have the deepest problem-solving skill,"”
