18E055000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic:foundation Components:hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings
Reported Jul 17, 2018 · Industrias Martinrea de Mexico SA de CV
Summary
Industrias Martinrea de Mexico SA de CV (Martinrea) has submitted a Defect Information Report based upon decisions made by Chrysler (FCA US LLC) and Ford Motor Company to conduct recalls (numbers 18V277 and 18V389 respectively). The brake circuit hose assemblies located between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit, may have been manufactured without anti-corrosion plating on the coupling fittings, or "ferrules," of the hoses. This can lead to premature corrosion, and result in a brake fluid leak.
Consequence
A brake fluid leak can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Martinrea is working with the affected vehicle manufacturers. Dealers for those manufacturers will replace the brake hoses, free of charge. The recall began July 17, 2018. Chrysler owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U41. Ford owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S19.
