The US National Consumer Commission (NCC) and Ford are negotiating a settlement in relation to incidents of the Ford Kuga SUV catching fire. Ford subsequently recalled 30 vehicles to repair engine cooling issues. Meanwhile, an inquest is underway into the death of a man in a burnt-out Ford Kuga in 2015. Another 52 fires involving the Ford Kuga took place after the death, though no one was injured. The talks between Ford and the NCC have a deadline of more than 4,500 November when the commission will take the case to a tribunal if a settlement is not reached.
