Ford Expedition Recall 22V150: Brake Fluid Leak Can Reduce Front Braking Power

NHTSA campaign 22V150, reported March 11, 2022, 195,864 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Brake fluid can leak from the front brake circuit of the master cylinder into the brake booster. When fluid is lost, brake pedal travel can change, pedal effort can increase, and the front brakes may not work as well. The vehicle may take more effort and distance to stop, which raises the risk of a crash.

The repair is free. An authorized dealer will replace the brake master cylinder, and if the master cylinder is leaking, the brake booster will also be replaced. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 29, 2022. If you have questions, you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls, and schedule the repair with an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
