Defect description

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018 Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks. The brake circuit hose assemblies located between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit, may have been manufactured without anti-corrosion plating on the coupling fittings, or "ferrules," of the hoses. This can lead to premature corrosion, and result in a brake fluid leak.

Safety risk

A brake fluid leak can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake hose assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on July 17, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S19.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
