## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2021\-2022 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles.  The rear brake linings may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can affect braking performance.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."


## What can happen

During certain situations, the driver may have to apply more brake pedal force, and the distance required to stop the vehicle may be extended, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the front brake pads, free of charge.   Owner notification letters were mailed August 17, 2022.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 21C31.


## 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.nhtsa.gov.
