I'll just leave this here. "CR’s diverse community of philanthropists, foundations, and nonprofits partners includes the Ford Foundation..." https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/about-us/our-partners/ph...
“The Ford Foundation is not connected to the Ford Motor Company. The Ford Foundation and Ford Motor Company are two separate and legally unrelated entities whose operations are completely independent and have been for more than 50 years. There is not any financial authority, decision making nor funding relationship between the two organizations.”
Largely because it'd be a jerk move and PR nightmare to obligate a rename given Henry Ford founded it, but if the two organizations are entirely distinct without even sharing common leaders or finances today, it's safe to say the risk doesn't exist.
Let's tone the conspiracies down a notch. CR also had the Ford foundation's involvement back when Tesla outscored every other car in CR's ranks.

Their whole reputation and name stands suggests that they would strongly consider any such incident as a serious breach of trust ...
It has no bearing considering CR's untarnished reputation around conflicts.
