Ford is recalling 870,000 F-150 trucks after customers reported their brakes activated while driving
The company said the recalled trucks have an issue with the"rear axle wiring harness bundle" rubbing against the rear axle housing, wearing on the circuit insulation, and possibly exposing wiring.
"Damaged electric parking brake wiring may lead to inadvertent parking brake application while driving, potentially resulting in loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash," the Recall Report said."Of these reports, 299 indicated that the electric parking brake had unintended activation, of which nineteen allege electric parking brake application while driving," the Recall Report said.
The company said it had not received any reports of accidents or injuries as a result of the defect. Affected F-150 owners are instructed to take their vehicles to a dealer for inspection. "If the abrasion tape does not exhibit wear-through, the dealer will install a protective tie strap and tape wrap. There will be no charge for this service," the Recall Report said.Subscribe to push notifications
