What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake hose chafing) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths, serious injuries, or hospitalizations, placing it in the 'High' category per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2016 Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks manufactured between April 15, 2015, and December 15, 2015. The recall affects 302 vehicles equipped with rear air suspension. In these vehicles, the rear brake hoses may contact and chafe on the rear axle housing while driving.

A chafed rear brake line may result in an air leak, which reduces the rear braking ability and increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will install revised rear brake air chambers and replace any damaged rear air brake lines free of charge. The recall began on February 9, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
