Ford is recalling approximately 274,000 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs due to a defect that could cause brake fluid leaks or loss of brake function. The issue stems from the front brake lines potentially contacting the engine air cleaner outlet pipe during installation. This recall affects 223,315 Expeditions and 50,474 Navigators from model years 2022 to 2024. Ford estimates only 1% of these vehicles are affected. Dealers will inspect and replace the front brake line or air cleaner outlet pipe as necessary at no cost to owners. No accidents or injuries have been reported, though 45 warranty claims for front brake line leaks were documented by April 17.
