Brampton Holds, One Recall Lands This Morning

Automotive News keeps Brampton in its weekly Canadian roundup this morning, alongside GM's return to V-8 pickup power and a Flavio Volpe warning on Canada's own tariff response. Automotive Dive has a two-hundred-thirty-nine-thousand-unit Ram recall for a backup camera fault, and Auto Remarketing covers Corpay's hundred-million-dollar FTC settlement over seven-year-old fuel card allegations. The Drive carries Hyundai's chief executive on China's ambitions, CarProUSA has Ford at odds with Washington over battery sourcing, and CBT News notes a new Mazda store and one dealership's ninety-seven-thousand-dollar donation. One line from it might get repeated at the sales meeting before the doors open.
