Ford Motor Co. will keep AM radio in all 2024 Ford and Lincoln models and restore it on two electric vehicles via a software update, according to CEO Jim Farley.
In a tweet, Farley said the decision was made "after speaking with policy leaders about the importance of AM broadcast radio as a part of the emergency alert system." The company removed AM radio from the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning and planned to discontinue it on all products moving forward.
Farley said the company would look for other ways to deliver emergency alerts in the future.
