"Ford Recalls Nearly 274,000 Expedition and Navigator SUVs for Brake Issue"

[!CDATA[Ford is issuing a recall for nearly 274,000 Expedition and Navigator SUVs in the U.S. due to a brake issue that could lead to a loss of brake function while driving, posing a safety risk. The problem stems from the front brake lines potentially coming into contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe, causing brake fluid leaks and potential loss of brake function. The recall affects 223,315 Expeditions and 50,474 Navigators from model years 2022 to 2024, with Ford estimating that only 1% of these vehicles may have the defect. While no accidents or injuries have been reported, Ford has received 45 warranty reports of front brake line leaks. To address the issue, Ford and Lincoln dealers will inspect and replace the front brake line or air cleaner outlet pipe as needed at no cost to owners. Notifications to dealers and owners are underway, with affected drivers advised to check the NHTSA site or Ford's recall lookup for more information. Drivers may notice increased pedal travel and a decrease in brake fluid level, potentially triggering the red brake warning indicator. Ford has not provided additional comments on the recall.]]
