- Manufacturer’s campaign code
Ford recalled Transit vehicles built between 12 December 2023 and 27 December 2023. The wrong brake line hose may have been installed on the right rear. The dealer will inspect and replace with correct hose. You won't usually pay for it.1
What’s Wrong
The wrong brake line hose may have been installed on the right rear. The longer brake line could create a touch condition with the rear wheel which could in turn cause a brake fluid leak. In the event of a leak you may notice a soft brake pedal feel and a red warning light will illuminate in the cluster. The brake system has two separate diagonal brake line circuits and in the event of one brake line circuit failure the vehicle is able to stop with the functionality of the secondary brake circuit. If the brake lines on both sides were to fail it may lead to a loss of brake function.
