Ford has issued a safety recall for 1.3 million Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans sold in the U.S. over faulty brake fluid hoses that can rupture
Ford has issued a safety recall for 1.28 million Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans sold in the U.S. over faulty brake fluid hoses that can rupture, requiring more distance to stop the vehicles and"increasing the risk of a crash," according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The affected vehicles are approximately 1.2 million Ford Fusions made between 2013 and 2018, and about 113,000 Lincoln MKZs of the same model years.

According to the federal agency, a hose carrying brake fluid to the front brakes on the affected vehicles can rupture due to normal wear and tear associated with its interaction with suspension and steering hardware, causing"a progressive brake fluid leak." In cars that have the leak, drivers may notice the brake pedal depressing further under their feet,"together with a reduction in the rate of deceleration, increasing the risk of a crash."
In addition to the change in the braking behavior of affected vehicles, NHTSA said a brake fluid warning light may illuminate on the dashboard if a leak is detected.
