Ford ordered to pay $2.5B for super duty crushed roofFirst off, I don't necessarily agree with the amount of the awards in some of these cases, and no question any situation with a vehicle flying 81 feet through the air will not end well, regardless of the circumstances. However, the roof strength of the Super Duty truck has been questioned almost since the vehicle was introduced back in 1999, and there has been a number (some claim more than 200) of lawsuits against Ford alleging the Super Duty roof poses a danger in roll-over accidents. Lawyers representing the plaintiffs claim that Ford downgraded material or removed structural members of the Super Duty roofs to save weight and cost, and in addition allege Ford lobbied the N.H.T.S.A. against roll-over/roof crush standards for certain light trucks. If these lawyers can prove that Ford knew their weight and cost cutting design changes made the Super Duty more prone to roof failure and tried to stop the adoption of roof crush standards for applicable light trucks Ford could be in some serious trouble.Sun, 16 Feb 2025 22:45:05 +0000
