 Description of the problemAfter leaving the gym one morning, i went to the parking lot and started my truck. Instantly a low brake fluid warning light shows up, which i thought was weird because my brakes felt completely normal driving to the gym. I tested the brakes and immediately pushed the pedal to the floorboard without resistance. I went outside and noticed no leaks anywhere along the brake system. Popped the hood and the brake fluid reservoir was completely empty, but no leaks. Hopped back in and tested the brakes while driving in the parking lot. I had about 5% braking power, at best. Started reading online and found hundreds of complaints about people's brakes going out in the same fashion. Instant failure. Luckily mine was very early in the morning while parked in an empty parking lot. Others had it happen while driving on a freeway, towing a trailer, much more dangerous situations. All had the same issue - failed seal at the master cylinder, allowing the vacuum in the booster to instantly suck all the brake fluid out. I had the truck towed to the dealership and sure enough, failed master cylinder and ruined booster. $1000 to fix. I read elsewhere that ford changed oem manufacturers for the master cylinder at some point, which the dealership confirmed. Also, this issue is under official investigation #rq16001, but has yet to be an official recall. Considering recalls were issued for 2013 and 2014 models for the same reason, and the over 600 complaints i've found for the same reasons for 2015, i find it unacceptable this hasn't been officially recalled yet. This could have been an incredibly dangerous situation.

  • 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.
