Mach-E Owner Sues Ford To Claw Back $1.3 Billion Tariff Windfall

The Michigan federal suit says Ford kept the Supreme Court-voided IEEPA tariff refund despite billing customers for it in higher prices.

  • Bullock v. Ford Motor Company, No. 2:26-cv-12335, filed July 9, 2026 in E.D. Michigan.
  • Ford booked a $1.3 billion one-time benefit after the Supreme Court voided 2025 IEEPA tariffs.
  • Only the importer, Ford, can claim tariff refunds; customers have no direct path to the government.

Why it matters: The customer paid the tariff once; Ford is now trying to be paid for it twice.
