China has issued temporary export licenses for rare-earth materials to suppliers of U.S. automakers.
What Happened: China has issued temporary export licenses to rare-earth suppliers for the top three U.S. automakers, according to a report by Reuters on Friday. This move comes amid ongoing supply chain disruptions due to Beijing&#8217;s export restrictions on these materials.
At least some of these licenses are valid for six months, as per two unnamed sources cited by Reuters. However, details regarding the quantity or specific items covered by the approval remain unclear.

China&#8217;s decision in April to limit exports of rare earths and related magnets has affected supply chains crucial to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor firms, and military contractors globally. The country&#8217;s dominance in the critical mineral industry is seen as a significant leverage point in its trade conflict with the U.S.
Suppliers for General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) received clearance for some rare earth export licenses on Monday, one source noted.
Why It Matters: The issuance of temporary licenses by China comes at a critical time when global automakers are grappling with potential production disruptions due to rare-earth supply shortages.
A report from May highlighted concerns from automakers like General Motors and Toyota Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) about<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708426/chinas-rare-earth-magnet-restrictions-threaten-auto-production-could-result-in-shutdown-of-assembly-lines-report"> potential factory shutdowns</a> due to these restrictions.

'China Grants Export Licenses To Rare Earth Suppliers Of Top Three U.S. Automakers, Valid For Six Months, Sources Say' - Reuters Exclusive

Detroit&#8217;s automakers are hitting speed bumps &#8211; and they're made of steel. Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) tumbled 3.7% and 4.1% respectively on the day the U.S. announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708977/trump-doubles-steel-tariffs-to-50-saying-it-will-secure-american-jobs-backs-us-steels-takeover-by-japans-nippon">50% tariffs on imported steel</a> and aluminum. 
The market didn't wait for earnings calls &#8211; investors immediately priced in the hit to margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steel Tariffs Could Add $200-$400 To Per Vehicle Cost</h2>
Tracy Shuchart of NinjaTrader says these fears are justified. &#8220;Steel and aluminum represent 15–20% of total vehicle production costs,&#8221; she said in exclusive insights shared with Benzinga over an email interview. &#8220;For a typical mid-size sedan, we&#8217;re looking at roughly $800–$1,200 in steel content per vehicle. A 50% tariff could easily add $200–400 to vehicle production costs.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Ford, GM Investors Should Brace For Impact?</h2>
Ford and GM are particularly vulnerable because of their long-term supply agreements with Canadian steelmakers, who now face full tariffs. While domestic producers celebrate, automakers will need to renegotiate contracts, seek alternative supply chains, or pass costs onto consumers &#8211; a tough sell in an already competitive EV market.
&#8220;Ford and GM are particularly vulnerable because they source significant steel volumes from Canada under existing supply agreements that will now face the full tariff impact,&#8221; Shuchart said.
Investors who believe these pressures may persist might consider short-term hedges or adding exposure to raw material producers like Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) and Steel Dynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) instead.
For ETF-watchers, the Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PAVE#NYSE">PAVE</a>) offers a blend of industrials and materials exposure that may benefit from rising domestic steel prices.
With tariff-driven cost inflation now a reality, automakers will need to prove they can protect margins without stalling innovation. Until then, the road ahead looks steep.

EXCLUSIVE: Ford, GM Just Hit A Tariff Wall - Will Margins Crumple On Cost Pressures?

The U.S. Vehicle Suppliers Association has called for immediate measures to address China&#8217;s limited rare earths exports, warning of potential disruptions in auto parts production.
What Happened:&nbsp;The Motor &amp; Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) issued a statement on Wednesday, urging prompt action to resolve the issue of China&#8217;s&nbsp;restricted exports of rare earths,&nbsp;minerals, and magnets. The association warned that the situation could quickly disrupt the production of auto parts,&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;reported.
China, which dominates more than 90% of the world's rare earth processing capacity, imposed export restrictions in April, mandating that companies secure licenses from Beijing. These measures came in response to a trade war that began when President Donald Trump introduced tariffs on Chinese goods.
The MEMA, in its statement, highlighted the &#8220;serious, real-time risks&#8221; faced by parts companies due to the unresolved situation.&nbsp;The association stressed the immediate need for strong action to avoid major disruptions and economic consequences throughout the vehicle supplier industry.
The report states that the U.S. auto industry is already experiencing the effects of these restrictions. In May, Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) was forced to suspend production of its Explorer SUV at its Chicago plant for a week due to a shortage of rare-earth materials.

US Auto Suppliers Urge Immediate Action To Tackle China's Rare Earths Restrictions Amid 'Serious, Real-Time Risks'

CORRECTION: Ford CFO At UBS Conference Says "100% of our sheet aluminum is purchased in the US, 85% of the steel is purchased in the US. So when we even talk about tariff impacts, they're small for us on a direct basis"

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday after the automaker released its May 2025 U.S. sales data showing broad strength across its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45739688/ford-recalls-over-29500-f-150-lightning-pickup-trucks-over-suspension-defect">combustion and hybrid segments. </a>
What To know: Total vehicle sales rose 16.3% year-over-year to 220,959 units, with internal combustion models making up the bulk of the gain at 191,517 vehicles, up 17.2% from a year ago. Hybrid sales also continued to grow, climbing 28.9% to 22,719 units, bringing Ford's year-to-date hybrid total to over 97,000 vehicles. In contrast, fully electric vehicle sales dropped 25% year-over-year to 6,723 units, and deliveries of the F-150 Lightning specifically fell over 40% compared to the same month last year.
The sales report underscores the uneven performance across Ford's vehicle portfolio. While demand for traditional and hybrid vehicles remains strong, electric vehicle sales continue to struggle amid broader consumer hesitancy and price competition in the EV market. Notably, Ford's best-selling trucks and SUVs, including the F-Series, Bronco and Explorer, contributed significantly to volume growth. SUV sales were up 25% year-over-year, and trucks rose over 11%, while car sales declined slightly.
At the same time, Ford is managing the fallout from several recalls. Most recently, the company announced it would recall over 29,500 F-150 Lightning pickup trucks due to a suspension defect that could cause the upper control arm to separate from the knuckle assembly, raising crash risks. The issue affects model years 2024 and 2025 and comes shortly after another major recall involving 1.1 million vehicles over faulty rearview cameras.
In addition to product issues, Ford is navigating political uncertainty around electric vehicle policy. Executive Chair Bill Ford warned that GOP-led efforts to eliminate the $7,500 EV tax credit as part of a broader tax reform package could undercut the company's EV battery production plans in Michigan. The policy shift could alter the financial viability of large-scale EV manufacturing projects, particularly as the company expands battery production capacity in Kentucky and elsewhere.
F Price Action: Ford shares were up 1.80% at $10.17 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga pro.</a>

Ford Motor May 2025 Sales: U.S. Total Vehicle Sales At 220,959 Units, Up 16.3% YoY; U.S. Electrified Vehicle Sales 29,442 Units, Up 10.7% YoY; U.S. Internal-Combustion Vehicle Sales 191,517 Units, Up 17.2% YoY

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) has issued a recall for over 29,501 F-150 Lightning Pickup Trucks over a suspension failure risk that could result in loss of the steering controls.
What Happened: The issue stems from a potential defect in the front control arm of the pickup truck's suspension, which could increase the risk of a crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a report released on May 27.
"The front upper control arm ball joint nut may not have been tightened properly, allowing the front upper control arm to detach from the knuckle assembly," the NHTSA report said.
The affected products include F150 Lightning Pickups sold from 2024-2025, the report said. "Dealers will inspect the upper control arm ball joint nut, and replace the nut and/or knuckle assembly, as necessary, free of charge," NHTSA reiterated in its report.
Why It Matters: The recall comes in as the Detroit-based automaker issued a separate recall that affected almost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45643704/ford-recalls-11-million-vehicles-for-camera-software-issue-report">1.1 million vehicles</a> due to an issue with the rear camera. The issue affected models include Bronco, F-150, Ford Escape, the Mustang Mach-E and multiple Lincoln models, among others.
Elsewhere, Bill Ford, the automaker's executive chair, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45732185/whats-going-on-with-ford-stock-monday-2">shared concerns</a> about the GOP's tax reform proposal, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45277309/house-gop-representatives-want-to-axe-federal-ev-credit-amid-trumps-tax-cuts-report">includes axing the $7500 EV credit</a>, could "imperil" the company's battery production in Michigan.

Ford Recalls Over 29,500 F-150 Lightning Pickup Trucks Over Suspension Defect

WIIM

Shares of automobile companies are trading lower. The industry may be facing weakness due to steel tariffs and investor concerns about overseas prices.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) shares are trading lower Monday. Investors appear to be reacting to comments from executive chair Bill Ford warning that a Republican-led tax proposal could jeopardize the company's $3 billion EV <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45643704/ford-recalls-11-million-vehicles-for-camera-software-issue-report">battery project in Michigan.</a>
What To Know: At a policy conference late last week, Ford said the potential elimination of production tax credits tied to electric vehicle batteries could &#8220;imperil&#8221; construction of the Marshall battery plant. 
According to Reuters, the factory, which is 60% complete and expected to begin production in 2026, would employ 1,700 workers and rely on technology from Chinese battery manufacturer CATL. The partnership has already drawn political scrutiny due to its Chinese ties.
The concern arises from a provision in a House-passed tax reform bill that would bar tax credits for EV batteries made with components from certain Chinese companies or produced under their licenses. Ford stated that the company made its investment based on current policy and argued it's unfair for the government to change incentives after significant capital has already been deployed.
In addition to threatening Ford's plant-specific tax credits, the bill would repeal the $7,500 consumer tax credit for new EV purchases, introduce a $250 annual EV fee to fund road repairs, and reverse vehicle emissions rules aimed at encouraging EV production. These changes could weaken the broader U.S. EV market, further impacting Ford's long-term electrification strategy.
Meanwhile, broader pressure on automakers intensified on Monday after President Donald Trump on Friday stated that all vehicles and parts must be built entirely in the U.S. going forward, according to a separate report from Reuters. 
The Trump administration slapped a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and parts earlier this year, further complicating global supply chains for companies like Ford. Trump also <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114599330494282325" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> Friday that he would double steel and aluminum tariffs from 25% to 50%, which may be adding to concerns for automakers. 
F Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/F">Ford shares</a> were down 4.19% at $9.94 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Watching Ford; Reuters Reports Ford Executive Chair Reportedly Says If Ev Production Tax Credits Go Away, Our Michigan Battery Plant Is "Imperiled"

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) is recalling over 1 million U.S. vehicles due to a software issue that may prevent rearview camera images from displaying properly, raising crash risks, according to federal regulators.
Reuters reported that the recall affects 1,075,299 vehicles across various models from 2021 to 2025, including the Bronco, F-150, Edge, Escape, Corsair, Mustang Mach-E, and several F-Series, Transit, and Lincoln models.
The <a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=25V315000">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)</a> said the defect stems from a software error that can cause the camera display to freeze, delay, or fail.

Dealers will update the dashboard&#8217;s accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software via an over-the-air fix at no cost. Ford will begin notifying owners by mail on June 16, with a follow-up notice expected once the fix is available in Q3 2025.

This comes amid mounting pressure: Ford pulled its 2025 earnings guidance, warned of $5.5 billion in expected EV and software losses, and raised prices on Mexico-built EVs like the Mustang Mach-E and Bronco Sport.
In early May, Ford <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45406568/fords-brake-line-issue-spurs-recall-of-over-270k-vehicles-as-safety-concerns-mount" rel="noreferrer noopener">recalled</a> nearly 274,000 SUVs, 223,315 Expeditions and 50,474 Navigators, due to a brake line defect that increased crash risk. The issue, traced to Ford&#8217;s Kentucky Truck Plant, involved brake lines potentially contacting engine components. As of April, no injuries were reported. Ford notified owners and instructed them to bring vehicles for inspection and repair.
Price Action: F shares are trading lower by 0.09% to $10.30 premarket at last check Wednesday.

Ford Recalls 1.1 Million Vehicles For Camera Software Issue: Report

Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), the parent company of brands like Dodge and Jeep, has appointed Antonio Filosa as the new chief executive officer.
What Happened: Filosa, who currently serves as the COO of the Americas, as well as the Chief Quality Officer, will step in as the new CEO from June 23, 2025, the company shared in an official statement on Wednesday.
Filosa is a 25-year veteran at Stellantis and has served in various key positions for the company in the past, including a stint as the CEO of Jeep as well as the COO of Stellantis in South America. Filosa, once assuming the CEO chair, would also announce the new Stellantis leadership team, the statement said.
"Antonio's deep understanding of our Company, including its people who he views as our core strength, and of our industry equip him perfectly for the role of Chief Executive Officer in this next and crucial phase of Stellantis' development," Stellantis Executive Chairman John Elkann said in the statement.
Why It Matters: Filosa's ascension to the CEO position comes in as Stellantis is facing the threat of U.S. President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45585283/trump-tariff-threat-hits-europe-stocks-sink-as-50-duties-loom">tariffs on the EU</a>. Trump's threats led to Stellantis<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45589460/stellantis-stla-shares-slide-on-trump-tariff-threat-against-eu-imports"> stock falling 3.6%</a>. The tariffs could impact Stellantis&#8217; competitiveness in the U.S. automotive industry.
Stellantis had earlier announced plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45133236/chrysler-jeep-owner-stellantis-to-move-some-auto-production-into-the-us-to-avoid-tariffs">move some production</a> away from Mexico to Michigan to offset the uncertainty posed by the automotive tariffs from the Trump regime. The company had also pulled its earnings guidance for 2025.
Stellantis, along with General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), had also criticized Trump's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45314561/trumps-uk-trade-deal-draws-criticism-from-ford-gm-stellantis-this-hurts-american-automakers-suppliers-and-auto-workers"> UK trade agreement</a>, citing concerns over the deal's impact on the U.S. auto industry.
Price Action: STLA currently trades for $10.48 on the NYSE, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Stellantis Names Antonio Filosa CEO Amid Uncertainty Over Trump's 50% EU Tariff Threat

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Sundar Pichai has firmly rejected the notion that anyone at Google can manually alter search rankings, even in response to President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41079928/trump-vs-google-former-president-alleges-search-engine-bias-says-its-only-showing-bad-stories-about">complaints</a>.
What Happened: In a conversation <a href="https://www.theverge.com/decoder-podcast-with-nilay-patel/673638/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-interview-ai-search-web-future">with</a> The Verge's Nilay Patel, Pichai was asked about Trump's criticism of his search rankings and the President's desire for them to be altered.
When asked whether search results for Trump would ever be adjusted in response to his complaints, Pichai said, "No. Look, we have a&#8230; I can't&#8230; Today, the way Google Search works is that I cannot&#8230; No person at Google can influence the ranking algorithm."

Why It's Important: Last year, Trump indicated that Google could face legal consequences, accusing the tech giant of interfering in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40867103/nate-silver-if-trump-loses-he-will-have-let-election-slip-out-of-his-grasp-as-underlying-factors-fav">2024 presidential election</a> by manipulating search results.
He alleged that Google deliberately promoted negative coverage about him while giving greater visibility to favorable stories about former Vice President Kamala Harris.

At the time, Google reaffirmed its previous stance and a company spokesperson said, "Both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries."
After Trump won against Harris, Google contributed $1 million to support Trump's inauguration, aligning <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42898021/google-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-plans-youtube-livestream-pleased-to-support">itself with other major donors</a> such as Meta Platforms, Inc.

Consumer Tech News (May 19-May 23): Trump Warns Apple Of 25% Tariff if Manufactured Overseas, Disney Sues YouTube & More

General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) is steadily gaining on Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) lead in the U.S. domestic EV market, despite the Trump administration's automotive tariffs.
What Happened: GM accounted for over 14.4% of all new EVs sold in the U.S. in April 2025, data released by Cox Automotive <a href="https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/ev-market-monitor-april-2025/">on</a> Wednesday shows. The Detroit-based automaker is currently the second-largest EV manufacturer by units sold through Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac after it surpassed Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
Amid GM's sales growth, Elon Musk's Tesla still claimed the top spot in April with sales climbing 3.7%, driven by the Model Y, which sold 25,321 units, the report suggested. However, its market share remained below 50%.
Why It Matters: The data comes in as EV sales have experienced a decline in the U.S. The automaker has reportedly pushed back against<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488137/general-motors-wants-to-overturn-californias-aggressive-ev-mandate-as-demand-slows-in-the-us-report"> California's EV policy</a>, which aims to phase out ICE vehicles by 2035.
"Emissions standards that are not aligned with market realities pose a serious threat to our business by undermining consumer choice and vehicle affordability," GM said in an email sent out to employees.
The automaker also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/05/45133096/this-is-how-much-it-will-cost-general-motors-from-trumps-tariff-policy">pulled its earnings guidance </a>for 2025, citing uncertainties posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's automotive tariffs. Elsewhere in the EV sector, GM's fellow Detroit-based automaker, Ford, has reportedly decided to split its flagship Kentucky battery manufacturing facility with Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (OTCPK: NSANY).
Price Action: GM currently trades for $49.66 in after-hours trading, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.
