Ford giving themselves a trophy for exporting jobs out of the country, lol. How about we get an independent award for quality, and bring those jobs back to a state not run by the cartel.

Ford Hermosillo Assembly Plant wins Quality Award for 2022
Guess you never heard of USMCA? It is the revised version of NAFTA. There won't be any "bringing those jobs back" under these trade agreements. US is locked in to keeping a certain amount of our manufacturing in Mexico and a big chunk of that is cars.

Yea, and sadly foreign cars are more American made than American companies cars. Ford is taking too much advantage of the situation.
another way of looking at it is the more trade and manufacturing there is between the 3 countries on this continent the less we will be impacted by future supply chain issues where goods have to cross an ocean (or 2) and need to waste time in ports on both ends of the journey.

That may be true, but I had 2 Hyundais, and they both had build quality hard to beat! My Maverick Lariat is what I expected from Ford. And remember it's a "truck" not a car.

Why, that is a bought and paid for award.
Well... At least the line worker(s) tried to fix an issue (blocked drains due to spray in liner, I believe) they noticed as the trucks were being built. I recall a story my late uncle told us when he worked at Chrysler decades ago. He had a terrible line job of mounting the spare tire in the trunk and when he bolted it down, the tire fit so snuggly in the sheet metal mold that it wouldn't easily come back out after the fastener was removed. He tried telling the line manger and was told to keep installing the spares. I feel sorry for anyone needing to use the spare on that model while on the roadside!
How sad 
recall after recall can not put out any large product numbers takes too many orders. No communication with their customers But Ford is Number One with their Vehicles for recalls over 7 Million Recalls Next is Tesla's at about 1 1/2 Million and the rest But Ford gives himself a trophy for quality control what a joke Unreal !!!!!!

As someone in the auto service business, some of the posts in these forums make me cross eyed and want to punch myself. You know that the assembly plant has absolutely nothing to do with recalls and part failures, yes?
I would also argue that Ford is not giving “themself” an ”award“ and it is not meant to be compared to or touted vs other car companies. It’s strictly an internal means of recognizing and motivating the workers at their assembly plants for doing work that is better compared to other Ford assembly plants. All large companies do similar things. There is nothing wrong with this practice.
