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