Ford Motor Co. has issued a recall for nearly 274,000 2022-2024 Navigator and Expedition SUVs in the United States, following concerns over brake fluid leakage that could compromise brake function.
The recall, announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is due to an issue that increases the risk of a crash.
Ford vehicles affected by the recall
Approximately 273,789 Ford Navigator and Expedition SUVs, produced between 2022 and 2024 were affected by the recall. The problem with these vehicles were the break lines. They could potentially come in contact with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe.
