## What is wrong

FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 F\-650 AND F\-750 TRUCKS, MANUFACTURED FROM DECEMBER 3, 2010, THROUGH DECEMBER 20, 2011, EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX ATR\-6 ANTILOCK TRACTION RELAY VALVES.

ALSO, THE BRAKES MAY BE APPLIED WITHOUT ILLUMINATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS, FAILING TO GIVE PROPER WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS.


## The remedy

FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSTALL A BENDIX ATR\-6 TRACTION RELAY VALVE KIT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 12, 2012.  OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AT 1\-800\-392\-3673.
