No risk description available.
REVISED DESIGN SECONDARY SERVICE RESERVOIR CHECK VALVE COMPONENTS WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
On certain vehicles, the front brake lines may have been bent during engine installation. As a result, the brake lines could become damaged by contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe. This could lead to a brake fluid leak and cause reduced braking.
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front brake lines and/or the air cleaner outlet pipe.
On certain vehicles, the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) unit may contain a pump piston which is out of permissible tolerances. Also, vibrations within the electrical connector may cause a loss of electrical continuity. Both conditions may result in the system reverting to hydraulic function mode. A loss of brake power assist would result in increased pedal effort and extended stopping distance.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the SBC pump unit.
On certain vehicles, the "hydroboost" hydraulic system high pressure hose assembly may be improperly routed and can contact the frame side rail resulting in a leak in the hose assembly. This could result in a loss of power assist to the steering and braking systems.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
On certain trucks, a software problem could cause the electronic stability control (ESC) system not to work. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Note: This problem would cause warning lights for the antilock braking system (ABS), ESC, adaptive cruise control (ACC), and forward collision warning (FCW) to appear on the instrument panel.
An electronic stability control system that doesn't work could increase the risk of a crash.
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to update the antilock braking system (ABS) control module software.
On certain vehicles, the front brake flexi-hoses could come in contact with the front tires due to a manufacturing defect with the flexi-hose brackets. Over time, this could cause a brake fluid leak which could result in reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and replace the brake flexi-hose brackets as necessary.
On certain vehicles, the rear axle vent hose could contact the rear brake hose which eventually could wear a hole in the brake hose. Perforation of the rear brake hose will result in a loss of braking force at the rear wheels.
No risk description available.
Rear brake hoses will be inspected for evidence of wear. Worn brake hoses will be replaced. The rear axle vent hose will be shortened by 8 cm and a clip will be installed to assure the clearance between the axle vent line and the brake hose is maintained.
ON VEHICLES WITH FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND AUTOMATIC LOCKING FRONT HUBS, THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE, BETWEEN THE BODY BRAKE TUBING AND THE FRONT AXLE CONNECTOR, MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED (TWISTED) DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF TWISTED, THE HOSE CAN BE LOOPED UPON ITSELF IN A MANNER THAT MAY ALLOW ABRASIVE CONTACT DURING NORMAL SUSPENSION TRAVEL. THIS COULD RESULT IN EVENTUAL HOSE FAILURE AND PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.
No risk description available.
VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND BRAKE LINES REROUTED IF NECESSARY.
REPLACEMENT FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SHOE LINING MATERIAL USED IN RECALL 79065 COULD CREATE CHATTERING VIBRATION AND CAUSE BRAKE SHOE AND/OR BACKING PLATE BREAKAGE WHICH MAY LOCK-UP THE WHEEL.
