Consumer Description

My truck has the same issue with the brake master cylinder bleeding back into the brake booster. Luckily I caught it before I left work. The reservoir was totally empty on the back half supplying the front brakes. At home pulled the vacuum hose and did the dip stick test and there was brake fluid in the brake booster . There is already a safety recall on the 2017-2018 f150 brake master cylinder but only with the 3.5motor. The 2.7 has the same brake master cylinder so I cannot see why only the 3.5 motor would have a recall??? Ford will not do anything about it and they don’t even have a part until sometime in March.
