Ford Recall

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 655,000 Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT pickup trucks to fix a hose that could affect the vehicles' braking power.
The automaker is issuing the recall of 2005-2006 versions of the trucks with 5.4 liter 3-valve engines. That's according to a posting today on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood says more than 600,000 of the trucks are in the United States and about 50,000 are in Canada. About 1,500 are in other countries.  Ford says there have been 11 minor accidents and no injuries tied to the issue.  Dealers will replace the hose at no charge to consumers. Owners
are expected to be notified in late June, and the recall is expected to begin in July.
