Ford has called for the safety recall of nearly 1,300 vehicles with 3.5-liter GTDI engines to inspect and swap out leaking turbocharger oil supply tubes. Ford thinks the leaking turbocharger could result in the heightened risk of a fire, but the American car company is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires linked with the issue.

However, it is a concern because...

Ford says an estimated 8,000 2017 Ford Super Duty trucks must be looked over and inspected for a fuel tank strap reinforcement. If one is not installed, VonDerAu Ford will put one in for free as a provision against probable fuel leaks.

Affected vehicles include cars created from Aug. 10, 2016, to Sept. 17, 2016, at Kentucky Truck Plant.

This recall is significant because the apparatus could fall out of place, and onto the ground. If this occurs, it could cause a possible fuel leak, and if it’s...

Recently, Ford announced that it will develop and employ a team of collaborative robots to work alongside factory employees. These “co-bots” will be used to assist with fitting shock absorbers to Fiesta models at Ford’s Cologne, Germany-based plant. Furthermore, these co-bots can be programmed to do everything from making coffee to shaking hands, which is sure to make for an interesting work experience.

Seemingly from the moment we at VonDerAu first made eyes with our standout sports car, the 2016 Ford Mustang, we fell for it like a sack of bricks. In our mind, we couldn't imagine a pony car more perfect.

That said, it most certainly brought a smile to our face to learn that the Mustang had prompted a similar reaction from Autotrader personality, Eric Lanford. Please allow him the opportunity to explain his position by watching the video review below:

No doubt the most thrust-thirsty powertrain in the Mustang portfolio, the engine of the top-tier GT trim is altogether…

Here at VonDerAu Ford we know that being the best isn't easy, but someone's got to do it! Yesterday, Kelley Blue Book (KBB) announced that Ford has won Best Overall Truck Brand in its Brand Image Awards for the third year running.

Ford Trucks have won many awards over the years but the KBB Brand Image Awards are special. The Best Overall Truck Brand award represents not just the rankings of automotive analysts, but the combined rankings of the thousands of car and truck shoppers who use KBB every day.

If you're eager to turn up the fun-factor in your automotive life, your friends at VonDerAu Ford have got to tell you: the spanking-new 2016 Ford Focus RS most certainly warrants your consideration.

What makes this model a must-see? Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, explains all in the clip below:

Stocked to the gills with stunning, standard amenities, the sole trim level of the Focus RS is really something else.

Such features include 19-inch alloy wheels, summer tires, performance brakes, adjustable suspension settings, xenon headlamps, foglights ...

Three cheers for our beloved American brand! You see, it put its standout full-size SUV, the Ford Explorer, under the knife for the 2016 model year, and somehow managed to make it even more incredible than it already was. And that, in our humble opinion here at VonDerAu Ford, is certainly cause for celebration.

And if you're at all unfamiliar with the current iteration, we encourage you to watch the video review below. Autotrader personality, Jabari Jones, is here to provide you with a closer look:
