Ford is recalling nearly 274,000 of its Expedition and Lincoln-branded Navigator SUVs across the US due to an issue that may cause a loss of brake function while driving, increasing crash risks.
According to documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the front brake lines in these now-recalled cars "may be in contact" with their engine air cleaner outlet pipe due to a potential installation defect. That can result in a brake fluid leak and/or a loss of brake function.
