Ford Recalls 225,000 F-150 Pickups for Faulty Brakes

–

Ford is recalling 225,012 F-150 pickups in the U.S. for front brakes that may weaken or fail, the company said Wednesday.

The 2013–2014 F-150 has a master cylinder that can leak brake fluid into the booster and compromise the front brakes. The rears will remain unaffected, Ford says. Only EcoBoost models with the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 need their brake master cylinders replaced, and if fluid has leaked, their brake boosters, too. Dealers will start repairs at an unspecified date.
