Manufacturer Ford Motor Company
Components EQUIPMENT, SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Number of Units Affected 273
Incorrect Brake Fluid Cap/FMVSS 135
Owners could be confused by the incorrect label on the brake fluid cap, potentially causing them to replace the brake fluid with an incorrect fluid which could affect brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Summary
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018 Ford Ecosport vehicles sold in the United States Federal Territiories. These vehicles were shipped with the European brake reservoir pictogram cap label and the European English language owner’s manual kits. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, “Light Vehicle Brake Systems.”
Remedy
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake fluid cap and owner’s manual kit, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin June 18, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 18C04.
