Ford recalls more than 655,000 trucks
According to a 5/14/08 article on CNNmoney.com, 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 recall affects 2005-2006 versions of the trucks with 5.4 liter 3-valve engines according to a posting Wednesday on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
A Ford spokesman stated 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 around the world.
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.
