General Motors announced Thursday that it would pause production at eight North American plants during the next two weeks, including its plant in Fort Wayne that makes the company's top-selling Chevrolet Silverado pickup.

As in World War II, automakers today represent manufacturing, engineering, and philanthropic capabilities that can be tapped for everything from face masks to ventilators and food programs.

The recall covers certain F-150 trucks with LED headlights from the 2018 through 2020 model years.

Base models of the Mach-E employ a 75.7 kWh Lithium-Ion battery pack to produce 255 horsepower with rear- or all-wheel-drive, running 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds.

The recall covers certain Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2015 model year.

The company has faced a string of lawsuits and complaints about the transmissions, which can lurch into gear or feel like they are slipping.

Journey Holding Corporation will integrate with TransLoc, a Ford-owned company that provides technology solutions for public and private transit operations.

There is no pickup like the Ford F-150 Raptor. What other truck can take you from showroom to Baja on one straight road, charge highways like a power-infused muscle car, and still be a pleasant everyday family car? Its the Ford F-150 Raptor a super truck for those willing to cut loose and take a ride on the wild side without giving up any of the comforts.

From style and luxury fit for a luxury SUV to a powertrain cribbed from the almighty Raptor pickup, auto correspondent Casey Williams says the Ford F-150 Limited defines luxury in the pickup segment.

The move includes over 782,000 vehicles in the U.S. and is part of the largest series of recalls in U.S. history.
