What is wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2016 Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks manufactured April 15, 2015, to December 15, 2015, and equipped with rear air suspension. In the affected vehicles, the rear brake hoses may contact and chafe on the rear axle housing while driving.
What could happen
A chafed rear brake line may result in an air leak, reducing the rear braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash.
