SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
Summary
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 F-150 vehicles manufactured August 1, 2013, to August 31, 2014 equipped with 3.5L engines. The master cylinder rear cup seal may roll, resulting in brake fluid leakage from the primary reservoir into the brake booster.
Consequence
Loss of brake fluid from the primary reservoir results in a complete loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
What Owners Should Do
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake master cylinder and, if necessary, the brake booster, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S24.
If there is still a misfire, the problem might be further back in the ignition system. As the problem seems to happen when the engIne is working harder it could be a faulty plug lead or coil pack.
