Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2017-2018 Ford F-150 pickups, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator SUVs due to brake fluid leaks.
The defect: in affected vehicles, the brake master cylinder may allow brake fluid to leak from the front wheel circuit into the brake booster.
The hazards: loss of brake fluid can reduce brake function to the front wheels, which can extend braking distance, ultimately increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this issue.
Components: brake master cylinder
Affected vehicles: 87,738 Ford F-150 pickups production between February 1st, 2017, and June 30th, 2017, 30,200 2017-2018 Ford Expedition SUVs produced between February 1st, 2017, and June 30th, 2017, and 5,613 2017-2018 Lincoln Navigator SUVs produced between February 1st, 2017, and June 30th, 2017.
Number of vehicles affected: 123,611
The fix: dealers will replace the brake master cylinder. If the master cylinder is leaking, dealers will also replace the brake booster.
Owners should: wait for communications from Ford, which will begin on April 28th, 2025. The Ford reference number for this recall is 25S37.

That is a bit sad, quality control is definitely lacking. They need to do a lot better......
Absolutely abandoning my TRUST and LOYALTY towards American made vehicles, especially FORD/Lincoln. Too many issues and recalls are an embarrassment to USA and American made products.
My 2016 Ford Edge SEL is plagued with problems, including the brake fluid/brake lines. There was a recall for the front lines but I was driving with my child in the car a few months back and when I tried to come to a stop at a busy intersection, my brakes went. Thankfully other drivers were all paying attention at the time and as I blew through the red light, they were all able to stop in time. This was the rear brake line. I had just had my oil changed and fluid levels checked a few weeks prior. I have no confidence in this brand anymore after this vehicle. Never again.
