What is wrong
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the front brake hoses could fail, causing a progressive brake fluid leak. If this happens, the driver may experience a change in brake pedal feel and travel. This can cause reduced brake performance.
Note: A brake fluid leak would cause the brake warning light to turn on.
Safety Risk:
Reduced brake performance could 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 vehicle to a dealer to replace the front brake hoses.
