## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2015\-2018 Ford Edge and 2016\-2018 Lincoln MKX vehicles.  The front brake hoses may rupture prematurely.


## What can happen

A ruptured front brake hose will cause a brake fluid leak, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake hoses with the new hoses that have a revised braid material, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 13, 2021.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 20S42.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
