NHTSA recall 14V709000
Exterior Lighting, Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles may have a brake pedal position switch that is improperly adjusted. As a result, the brake lights may illuminate with a delay or not at all. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: If the brake lights fail to illuminate, or illuminate after a delay, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will adjust the brake pedal position switch, free of charge. The recall began on November 24, 2014.
