Around 500,000 crossovers are being recalled from the Ford umbrella, including Ford Edge units from 2015 to 2018 and Lincoln MKX vehicles from 2016 to 2018. The problem? Potential brake fluid leaks that could lead to braking difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More specifically, the issue is with the front brake jounce hose that could leak brake fluid, leading to longer brake-pedal travel and increasing the risk of a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automaker said that drivers are notified of low brake fluid levels when the light illuminates on the dashboard. The company also stated it is not aware of accidents and injuries that may be related to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fix the issue, owners of the affected vehicles are advised to bring their vehicles to a dealer. The brake jounce hose will be replaced with one that is made of a different material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the half-a-million crossover recall, Ford also announced two other recalls this time involving the 2020 Lincoln Corsair and 2020 Ford F-150 for other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 2,965 Corsair units are being recalled in the United States due to “insufficient clearance between the left and right rear coil springs and the toe link bracelet.” The problem causes corrosion on the spring as well as premature fracturing that can lead to the spring getting detached from the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ford dealers are tasked to trim the toe link bracket edge and replace the spring coil to fix the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 2020 F-150s, the recall was prompted by an improper nut attachment between a battery cable and the starter motor. This could cause heat to generate while the vehicle is starting, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will have to replace the attachment to fix the issue.
