Ford says brake fluid can leak from the master cylinder. That could reduce the ability of the front brakes to stop the trucks.
The company reports nine crashes with no injuries, but one person was hurt in an unspecified interaction with the brakes.
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder for free. They’ll also replace the brake booster if they find leaks from the master cylinder.
