Another 13,000 of the cars sold in Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico are also being recalled.

    "You make it sound like Ford was holding them back when in fact Mazda would be 6 feet under if not for FMC." That is very true. When Ford bought a third of Mazda it was useful to both parties. Mazda was in deep financial straits and Ford needed product help. The partnership has been successful which allowed Ford to unwind to about a 13% stake today.
