Ford Recalls 1.5M Vehicles To Fix Brake Hoses

USA – Ford says it is recalling more than 1.5 million vehicles in the U.S. in two actions to fix leaky brake hoses and windshield wiper arms that can break.

The largest of two recalls covers nearly 1.3 million 2013 through 2018 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKX midsize cars.

Safety regulators say the front brake hoses can rupture and leak brake fluid, which would increase brake pedal travel and make stopping distances longer.

Dealers are expected to replace the hoses and ford says it will mail owner notification letters starting April 17.
