The collaborative efforts between Ford Australia and RMA Automotive aim to swiftly resolve the turbocharger concerns, ensuring that F-150 owners receive vehicles of the highest quality.
This temporary pause underscores Ford's steadfast dedication to providing customers with reliable and top-performing vehicles. The company remains committed to delivering a seamless and exceptional driving experience for all F-150 enthusiasts in Australia.
