Ford announced that it would be withdrawing from the market 488,594 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX SUV due to considerations that the brake lines would spill out of liquid and increase the threat of an accident.
As the brake fluid point decreases, the driving force would possibly produce increased brake pedal running and reduced braking performance. The company warns that if the brake fluid tank runs out below a safe spot, caution of the soft brake fluid will go up.
Ford said in a statement that he was unaware of injuries or injuries similar to this condition.
The car manufacturer will begin informing consumers about the recall the week of September 14, 2020.
Vehicles recalled from the market:
The problem: Bent front brake hoses can break and allow brake fluid to escape. Because hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid stress to function, this can result in harmful relief in prevention capability.
The solution: Ford will update the front brake rebound hoses to be loose with new hoses made from a revised braided material.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners can contact Ford service at 866-436-7332.
NHTSA cross number: still announced. Ford’s number for this withdrawal is 20S42.
