2000 Ford F-650 & 2000 Ford F750 recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: medium duty trucks equipped with hydromax hydraulic brake systems. The park brake warning lamp circuitry does not include a provision for a park brake warning lamp check function. Therefore, these vehicles do not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic brake systems."
💥 The risk
The check lamp function of the park brake warning lamp is intended to illuminate the lamp when the igntion key is turned to the run position. The park brake warning lamp check function was not incorporated into the module which controls this feature.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a revised module which incorporates the park brake check lamp function.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
