Ford to Recall F-150
Ford have announced that they are recalling the F-150.
They are recalling the pickups due to a faulty power brake assist hose which has caused 11 accidents since the truck was released (although no serious injuries have been reported). According to the NHTSA report, the problem is caused by a faulty brake hose - it swells over time and results in the hose detaching from the intake manifold. Because of this problem, it is necessary to apply extra pressure to the brake pedal. At the moment, it is not possible to repair the problem as the parts necessary are not available. Obviously, Ford cannot allow these vehicles on the road, so have announced a recall.
The recall will take in more than 600,000 vehicles.
