Ford rear brake pads may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can reduce brake function in the event of a brake booster malfunction.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the disc pads. Here is what owners need to know.
The rear brake pads may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can reduce brake function in the event of a brake booster malfunction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Reduced brake function can require the driver to apply more brake pedal force, and the distance required to stop the vehicle may be extended, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the front brake pads, free of charge.
