Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the front brake lines may have been bent during engine installation. As a result, the brake lines could become damaged by contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe. This could lead to a brake fluid leak and cause reduced braking.
Safety Risk:
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front brake lines and/or the air cleaner outlet pipe.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
