 Description of the problemI was traveling away from home and was towing my boat (about 4k weight). No performance issues or warning lights on the trip thus far. When leaving the hotel we stayed in, i pressed the brake to put the truck in gear. The brake pedal went straight to the floor. All the way down. The low brake fluid light came on and the brake warning light was illuminated too. The fluid reservoir, topped off a week before, was completely empty, yet no fluid was on the ground. Got the truck towed to a ford dealer. Needed a new master cylinder and brake booster, saying that the seal between those 2 parts failed and the fluid quickly transferred from the previously sealed master cylinder into the brake booster. Doing a bit of research, i see a nhtsa recall on f-150s that have the same master cylinder and booster. I also see an investigation underway for '15 and '16 f150s for brake failure. And i see story upon story of expedition owners on the expedition forum describing the same critical, potentially catastrophic failure. I'm grateful the truck was stopped when it failed. I truly feel i would not be here describing the situation to you if it had failed on the highway, on a boat ramp, or even in a city. It's remarkable to me that possibly a $2. 00 seal (part) could have cost me my life, or those also in the truck. It's unacceptable to allow trucks to remain on the road with a cheap part that can fail that easily, likely causing death or significant injury to self and those you run into. Ford can do better. Nhtsa can do better. Let's get this recalled before others die unnecessarily.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
  • What is Defect?

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
