What’s the Problem?
According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall affects:
- 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX
- 2015-2018 Ford Edge
The front brake hoses on affected vehicles may rupture prematurely, NHTSA said.
A ruptured front brake hose will cause a brake fluid leak, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford is notifying owners and dealers will replace the front brake hoses with new hoses that have a revised braid material, free of charge.
This recall began on September 14, 2020.
2018 Lincoln MKX Recall
On July 16, 2020, Ford announced that it is recalling certain 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2019-2020 Nautilus vehicles equipped with 16-way electric tilt seats over concerns that the seat cushion frame edge may contact the wire harness when the seat occupant uses the tilt function of the seat, potentially damaging one or more wires within the harness, which can result in either accidental deployment of the airbag or non-deployment of the airbag during a crash.
Ford dealerships will install protective flocking tape onto the exposed edge of the 16-way seat cushion frames, and inspect the wire harness for damage, and repair or replace it as needed, free of charge.
This recall began on August 12, 2020.
Ford’s number for this recall is 20S37.
