Details
What's wrong: Brake fluid may leak from the brake hose/caliper junctions at the rear of the vehicle.
Why it matters: A brake fluid leak may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle. If both of the rear brake junctions leak, there may a complete loss of braking. Either of these scenarios increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sealing washers on both rear brake caliper to brake hose joints, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014.
