But some portions could also help them sell more vehicles in what has been a very slow market.\r\n\r\nThe information is based on announcements that automakers have made in the last few days. If we learn of others, we&a;rsquo;ll report on them.\r\n\r\n&l;strong&g;Ford/Lincoln&a;nbsp;&l;/strong&g;\r\n\r\n&l;a href=\&q;https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2017/09/01/ford-hurricane-harvey-relief.html\&q; target=\&q;_blank\&q;&g;Ford&l;/a&g;&a;nbsp;announced a special customer assistance bundle, \&q;Texas Is Family,\&q; to assist customers with a loss claim to meet their immediate vehicle needs.
