Report asks cities to ease up on food trucks


By David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co will petition to avoid a U.S. recall of about 2.5 million vehicles with Takata air-bag inflators that the Japanese auto supplier declared defective last week, U.S. regulators and the automaker said on Friday. Separately, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Nissan Motor Co agreed to recall 515,394 2007-2011 Versa cars after Takata declared 2.7 million vehicles to have potentially defective inflators. Ford spokesman John Cangany said the automaker will file a petition requesting "to continue testing and analysing our inflators." The NHTSA said the petition will seek an exemption from the recall because Ford believes the issue is inconsequential.
