Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Ford Recalls 123,000 Vehicles Over Brake Risk
Caption: Ford Recalls 123,000 Vehicles Over Brake Risk. Ford is recalling over 123,000 vehicles due to a brake issue that could lead to failure if left unaddressed. The recall impacts 2017–2018 F-150 trucks, Expeditions, and Lincoln Navigators with 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines. At the heart of the problem is a potential leak in the brake master cylinder, which could reduce braking power over time. Brake fluid may seep into the brake booster, weakening performance and possibly leading to total brake failure. Warning signs include a soft brake pedal and dashboard alerts before the brakes stop working entirely. So far, no crashes or injuries have been linked to the defect, which was flagged in January by the NHTSA. Ford’s Critical Concern Group launched an investigation, uncovering elevated claims in Expeditions and Navigators. Even though F-150s didn’t show the same trend, they’re still included in the recall for safety. Dealers have been alerted, and owners will start receiving notices from April 28. Repairs will be done free of charge. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
