Ford Motor Co. will pay state attorneys general $51 million to end claims that its advertising fails to disclose the rollover risk involved with driving sport utility vehicles, sources said. Ford declined to comment.
The states’ claims stem from thousands of rollover accidents involving the Ford Explorer and faulty Firestone tires.
Ford shares rose 7 cents to $9.78 on the New York Stock Exchange before the news.
