This week, Ford Motor Company notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it would undertake the largest-ever recall. This impacts 13,172 vehicles, including 2022 and 2024 model year Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. This recall was issued after the leaking of brake fluid became apparent as a defect that might degrade braking performance.
That recall includes all Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators made in those years. According to industry experts, brake fluid leaks can cause decreased braking effectiveness—which is a significant safety danger. According to Ford, “This could lead to a brake fluid leak and cause reduced braking.”
As Ford admitted, less braking can lead to longer stopping distances, thereby raising the risk of crashes. As a company whose technology is largely responsible for keeping both drivers and passengers safe, Cruise understands the urgency in addressing these concerns.
