What this recall means for you
Some brake calipers may have been built with the wrong assembly fluid. This can cause the rubber seals inside the calipers to swell, which may make the brakes drag.
Dragging brakes can overheat the brake system and increase the risk of a crash. If you notice signs of brake drag, such as unusual heat or burning smells from the wheels, reduced performance, or a pulling sensation, have your vehicle inspected promptly.
The repair is free. Authorized dealers will flush the brake fluid and replace the front brake calipers and brake hoses at no cost to you. Ford will notify affected owners, and you can also check your VIN for open recalls or contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 about recall 19S27.
