Ford Motor Co. is being sued by truck owners alleging the car maker has rigged at least 500,000 heavy-duty, diesel-fueled trucks to beat emissions tests, according to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday. Ford’s F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, sold between 2011 and 2017 and cost more than their gasoline-fueled equivalents, are producing emissions as much as 50 times the legal limit, Bloomberg said, citing the complaint. Shares of Ford fell 0.3% on Wednesday, compared with losses of around 0.2% for the S&P 500 index.
