Ford Recalls SUVs Over Brake Concerns
Ford is recalling 274,000 SUVs, including Expeditions and Navigators, due to a brake function issue caused by potential installation defects. This affects vehicles from 2022-2024. Ford will remedy the defect for free and has started notifying dealers, with owner notifications to follow.
Ford Motor Company has announced the recall of nearly 274,000 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs in the United States. The recall addresses a defect that could result in the loss of brake function, elevating crash risks.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released documents indicating that the front brake lines in these vehicles might contact the engine air cleaner outlet pipe. This contact could lead to brake fluid leaks or reduced braking capability.
The recall pertains to model years 2022 through 2024, with Ford estimating that only about 1% of the affected SUVs have the defect. Ford is offering complimentary inspections and repairs through its dealerships, beginning with dealer notifications, followed by letters to owners later this month.
