What is wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 F-150 vehicles manufactured August 1, 2013, to August 31, 2014 equipped with 3.5L engines. The master cylinder rear cup seal may roll, resulting in brake fluid leakage from the primary reservoir into the brake booster.
Safety risk
Loss of brake fluid from the primary reservoir results in a complete loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
