Ford Transit: – Transit Rear Brake Line Inspection
Ford Transit Recall Summary Ford is recalling 6 Transit vehicles because the wrong brake line hose may have been installed on the right rear, which could touch the rear wheel and cause a brake fluid leak. If a leak occurs, drivers may experience a soft brake pedal and a warning light on the dashboard. While the brake system has backup circuits that allow the vehicle to stop if one circuit fails, failure of both circuits could result in loss of braking ability.

- Reason
- The wrong brake line hose may have been installed on the right rear. The longer brake line could create a touch condition with the rear wheel which could in turn cause a brake fluid leak. In the event of a leak you may notice a soft brake pedal feel and a red warning light will illuminate in the cluster. The brake system has two separate diagonal brake line circuits and in the event of one brake line circuit failure the vehicle is able to stop with the functionality of the secondary brake circuit. If the brake lines on both sides were to fail it may lead to a loss of brake function....
