Details

What's wrong: These vehicles may be equipped with incorrect front brake hoses that may chafe against other components, possibly resulting in a brake fluid leak.

Why it matters: A brake fluid leak may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake hoses, replacing any that are incorrect, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 2018.
