General Motors isn’t the only major OEM to be concerned about the ongoing First Brands bankruptcy struggle.

Considering one of the Blue Oval’s products is the nationally best-selling F-150 pickup, it could have a lot at stake. The company has a few irons in the fire that could keep things running smoothly, but potential illegal activities on the part of First Brands executives could queer any deal.
