| Description of the problem | The brake master cylinder went out while i was driving and i nearly hit the car in front of me. When i took the truck into the shop, i was told that the master cylinder had a leak and would not consistently hold pressure so it had to be replaced. After doing some research, i found a recall by ford with recall id 16s24 for this exact same problem and when i was told what needed replaced, it was almost word for word what this recall stated. I found this information after i had already gotten the master cylinder replaced so i called ford to speak with their recall department. I was told that this issue was not covered by the recall because my truck was manufactured after the date of what was defined in the recall. It seems to me that a truck built in the same year that had master cylinders affected would be covered by the recall. This repair cost $663. 57. Losing brake pressure could have caused serious injury had i been on the highway or needing to come to an abrupt stop. A picture of the repair invoice is attached but a better copy can be provided upon request. |
