Description
Some vehicles may experience a loss of brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir into the brake booster. Loss of brake fluid can lead to visual and audible warnings of low brake fluid level to the operator and may lead to a change in brake pedal travel and feel. Ford is aware of nine accident allegations on the affected vehicles that might relate to this condition, with no injuries; and one alleged injury not related to the accidents.
Safety Risk
Depending on the amount of brake fluid loss from the brake master cylinder into the brake booster, the driver will experience an audible chime, message center alert, red brake warning light in the instrument cluster and may begin to experience a change in brake pedal travel and feel. In the event that a loss of brake fluid is substantial enough to reduce brake function to the front wheels, the driver may experience longer pedal travel, increased pedal effort, and extended stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash. Full braking function would remain in the rear wheel brake circuit.
