Description

Ford is recalling certain model year 2011 F-650 and F-750 trucks, manufactured from December 3, 2010, through December 20, 2011, equipped with bendix ATR-6 antilock traction relay valves.

Unexpected continuous brake application can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the brakes may be applied without illuminating the brake lights, failing to give proper warning to other drivers.
