What information do we have about the quality of the output from this plant?

 

[MParrott]

I haven't been able to find that info, but I will say that I had a couple small issues with my Fusion that had to be sorted out. Ford is taking care of it though.

It's a major ford plant, and I believe relatively new. Could be wrong on that though. It's a first year car, so of course it won't be perfect, but so far I haven't heard of any major problems.

Hermosillo has some of the highest quality numbers of all of Ford's plants. When I worked for a supplier we shipped the same part for Escorts to Hermosillo and Wayne, MI. The warranty claims on the parts used at Wayne were 5 times higher.

Heh, isn't wayne shutting down?

 

[waldo]

Wayne is the only source for US and Canadian Focuses. Just received a major update to be able to build the hatchbacks that were previously made in Hermosillo. I don't see it shutting down anytime soon.

Eh, I was thinking of Wixom... no idea how I put Wayne into that.
