Good morning, Fond du Lac. Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 13th of July.

BUSINESS NEWS

  • Ford is recalling over 850,000 vehicles because a low-pressure fuel pump may fail and cause the engine to stall, which can lead to a crash (the recall affects Ford models including Broncos, Explorers and F-150s as well as Lincoln Aviators and Navigators). The company will start sending notification letters to affected owners on Monday and will later give repair instructions (owners will be told to take their cars to an authorized dealer when a fix is ready).  KFIZ
  • A group of Wisconsin vape shop owners sued the state over a law that requires FDA authorization for vaping products and warned the regulation will cut off access to up to 84% of their sales—a hearing is scheduled for July 30 in Madison. The lawsuit claims that the law oversteps federal authority and threatens local businesses by limiting consumer options.  NBC 26
