This condition only occurs at initial vehicle start-up and will no longer be present after the brake pedal is released and re-applied during the same key cycle. This is not a lack of power brake assist. This may be caused by the software in the ABS module. To correct the condition, reprogram the ABS module using the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 2005 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10177713-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10177713-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10177713","components":[{"id":"brakes","name":"Brakes","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"AVIATOR","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_lincoln_aviator"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
