Ford Issues "Do Not Drive" Warning and Brake Recall

[Steve Morris]

Some ford trucks are missing a brake pedal spring, which can result in total loss of braking. Here is the recall information:

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 F-550 SD, F-450 SD, F-350 SD, and F-250 SD vehicles. The brake booster pushrod retaining spring may not have been installed, which can allow the pushrod to disconnect from the brake pedal and cause a sudden loss of brake function.

This was reportedly the result of allowing a trainee to do assembly work while unsupervised!🤨

The problem was actually discovered by a seasoned employee further down the line.  They have a record of which trucks he worked on.
