Ford South Africa has announced a safety recall for certain Ford Ranger models over concerns about their flexible front brake hoses.<\/p>\n

In an emailed statement, the company said that the recall applies to certain Ford Rangers built between 18 September 2014 – 28 August 2018 at the FMCSA Silverton Assembly Plant.<\/p>\n

“In affected vehicles, the brake hoses are under continual stress in their current configuration which over time leads to failure of the hose material,” it said.<\/p>\n

“The safety of our customers is our number one priority, so we are notifying customers through this recall to have their affected Front Brake Hoses replaced as a precaution.”<\/p>\n

Ford said that dealers will replace the front brake hoses at no cost to the customer.<\/p>\n

“Ford is committed to providing customers with top quality vehicles. We are equally committed to addressing potential issues and responding quickly to our customers,” it said.<\/p>\n

Customers can contact their nearest dealer or Ford Customer Service directly at 0860 011 022 or CRC3@ford.com<\/p>\n
