Ford has announced a significant recall affecting select 2025 models due to a potential issue with the power brake assist system. The fault could lead to reduced braking efficiency, increasing the risk of accidents.
Which Models Are Affected?
The recall primarily targets certain 2025 Ford vehicles equipped with the latest power brake assist technology. While the exact models haven't been fully disclosed, owners will be notified directly if their vehicle is included in the recall.
What's the Problem?
Engineers discovered that the power brake assist system may fail to provide adequate support during braking, requiring drivers to apply significantly more force to the pedal. This could potentially extend stopping distances, particularly in emergency situations.
What Should Owners Do?
- Check for recall notifications from Ford via mail or the company's online portal
- Contact your local Ford dealership immediately if you suspect your vehicle is affected
- Avoid aggressive driving until the vehicle can be inspected
Ford's Response
The automaker has stated that all repairs will be conducted free of charge at authorised service centres. Technicians will inspect and, if necessary, replace the power brake assist components to ensure full functionality.
"Customer safety is our top priority," a Ford spokesperson commented. "We're working diligently to address this issue and minimise inconvenience to our customers."
Timeline for Repairs
Ford expects to begin the recall process within the next month, with most repairs completed by the end of the quarter. Owners are advised to schedule their service appointments as soon as they receive notification.
