Ford Recalling 655,000 Trucks With Braking Problems


Posted on May 14, 2008

Ford Motor Company is recalling some 655,000 trucks to fix a hose that may be affecting the vehicles' braking ability.  Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT pickup trucks manufacturered between 2005-2006 with 5.4 liter, 3-valve engines are subject to the recall. 

Wes Sherwood, a Ford spokesman, says that 600,000 of the trucks were sold in America and another 50,000 were sold in Canada.  A final 1,500 trucks are in various countries around the world.  Ford believes that the hose is causing a braking problem that may be to blame in 11 minor accidents, but the company claims that no injuries have been tied to the problem.

Ford dealers are replacing the hose at no charge to consumers and owners of the 2005-2006 models can expect to receive notification of the recall in June and July.  Owners with questions can contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
