The problem

The risk
An undetected low brake fluid condition can lead to a loss of braking function, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the body control module (BCM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 12, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S43.
