2013 LINCOLN MKZTransport Canada Recall #2023132
Defect
On certain vehicles, the front brake hoses could fail and cause a progressive brake fluid leak. If this happens, the driver may experience a change in brake pedal feel and travel. This can cause reduced braking. Note: A brake fluid leak would cause the brake warning light to turn on. This recall doesn't affect models with a Hybrid engine. Vehicles repaired under Ford warranty extension program 22N02 already have updated brake hoses, and don't require this repair.
Safety Risk
Reduced braking can cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the front brake hoses.
