Ford has announced a recall of over 250,000 vehicles over a potential issue that could make their brakes defective.
Ford announced in a filing to the National Highway Traffic Administration that it would be recalling 273,800 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs due to braking issues.
The report stated, “SUVs’ front brake lines “may be in contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe,” causing possible brake defects.
“A brake line leak may cause longer-than-expected brake pedal travel and result in a reduction in the rate of deceleration,” added Ford.
Check out what Fox Business reported:
Ford is recalling 273,800 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs in response to a potential issue that could make their brakes defective.
The recalled Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles are from model years 2022-2024, according to a recall report the automaker submitted to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA).
The recalled SUVs’ front brake lines “may be in contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe,” which could cause the lines to sustain damage and leak.
“A brake line leak may cause longer-than-expected brake pedal travel and result in a reduction in the rate of deceleration,” Ford said in the report. “If there is a rapid loss of brake fluid or the brake fluid is completely depleted, this can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.”
The front brake line potentially getting bent during installation may have been the source of the issue, according to the NHTSA recall report.

Done many failed lines on Toyotas hondas and other imports.
It happens.
I thought outlet pipes on engines were called “the exhaust system.”
These things can happen when you try to stuff 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.
Not much room left to even get your hands im to work on it.
“engine air cleaner outlet pipe,”
Outlet for the intake
Ford needs to recall price hikes and those worthless,non purpose turbo chargers that simply make a small engine
work harder,and fail in a short period of time.
I like the engine, I thought the 365 hp was pretty snappy, but wow, the 400 hp is much better. Never had one that even used oil at 150K miles.
