NHTSA recall 99V147000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The brake fluid master cylinder is recessed and oriented in the engine compartment so that the brake fluid warning statement embossed on both the top of the filler cap and the side of the reservoir body are not entirely visible by direct view. These vehicles may not fully comply with requirements of fmvss no. 135, "passenger car brake systems."
Why it matters:
The fix: Owners will be provided with new labels and installation instructions.
