Ford Motor Company is recalling 5 of its 2025 F-150 Lightning BEV vehicles due to a defect in the front brake assembly. The screws holding the front brake hose bracket in place may loosen and fall off, allowing the hose to rub against the tire and leak brake fluid. Dealers will inspect the front brake hose and replace both bracket screws free of charge.
A brake fluid leak can lead to a loss of braking pressure, which significantly increases the distance needed to stop the vehicle. This failure increases the risk of a crash.
