Issue
Issue:
On certain trucks, brake fluid could leak from the brake master cylinder front wheel circuit into the brake booster. If this happens, the driver may experience increased brake pedal travel and increased pedal effort. This can cause reduced front brake performance. Full braking function remains in the rear wheel circuit.
Note: Depending on the amount of brake fluid loss, the driver may hear a warning chime and see a red brake warning indicator in the instrument cluster.
Safety Risk:
Reduced front brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to replace the brake master cylinder.
