Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2018 Ford F-650 and F-750 vehicles equipped with hydraulic brakes. The recall involves 151 vehicles where the parking brake cable may not have been adjusted properly. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."

The improperly adjusted parking brake cable could result in unintended movement of the vehicle if the transmission does not have a 'Park' position or if the transmission lever is not placed in 'Park'. This unexpected movement increases the risk of a crash or injury.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will correct the parking brake cable adjustment free of charge. The recall began on May 25, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
