Ford affected vehicles may have a brake reservoir cap that does not have the required text advising owners which brake fluid the vehicle uses.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may have a brake reservoir cap that does not have the required text advising owners which brake fluid the vehicle uses. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
Without the correct brake reservoir label on the cap someone may add the wrong brake fluid, causing damage to the brake system seals, resulting in brake fluid leaks, lengthened stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the brake reservoir cap with a correct one, free of charge.
