Recall Alert: 650,000 2005-06 Ford F-150s

2006fordf150

Ford is recalling all of its 2005 and 2006 F-150 pickups equipped with the 5.4-liter V-8 engine due to a faulty brake hose. The hose can come loose from the intake manifold, causing a loss in power for braking. Drivers can still stop an affected truck by using the brakes, they’ll just need to apply more force to the pedal.

Ford said 11 minor accidents have been reported, but no injuries.

The recall will begin in June, and the brake hoses will be replaced free of charge. Lincoln Mark LT trucks from the 2005 and 2006 model years are also included in the recall. 

For more information, concerned owners can call Ford at 1-800-392-3673.

Ziggy, wow, you attempt to insult someone and you don't even post it in the right spot. "Expert"... most definitely (sarcasm implied greatly).
