Ford Crown Victoria: Brakes

Affects Ford Crown Victoria · 2007 — about 35 vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles may have brake lines that are incorrectly connected at the ABS hydraulic control unit. This would cause brake pressure to be applied to the right front wheel that would normally be intended for the right rear wheel and vice versa. As a result, braking performance would be adversely affected, including the potential for increased stopping distances that could result in a crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will reroute affected brake lines.
