SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Defect Description
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018 Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks. The brake circuit hose assemblies located between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit, may have been manufactured without anti-corrosion plating on the coupling fittings, or "ferrules," of the hoses. This can lead to premature corrosion, and result in a brake fluid leak.
Safety Consequence
A brake fluid leak can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake hose assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on July 17, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S19.
