Safety recall 16s24 why is my 2014 F-150 not covered under Ford's safety recall (16s24) of a defective brake master cylinder? 16s24 covers defective master cylinders for the 3. 5l v-6 ecoboost engine, but not the 3. 7l v-6 engine. Upon further research, it appears that both the aforementioned engines use the same master cylinder. See motorcraft part no. Brmc203 (brake master cylinder). According to Ford, the master cylinders' rear seal fails, thus leaking brake fluid into the attached brake power booster which causes pedal fatigue and possible loss of front brakes. My F-150 has a 3. 7l v-6 engine, which is not covered under the recall. However, my F-150 is exhibiting the same master cylinder failure as is referenced in 16s24. My master cylinder has leaked into the power booster and the vacuum line attached the power booster has siphoned all brake fluid into the engine (approximately 60 ounces). The engine then expelled said brake fluid into the exhaust system causing white smoke to emit from the tail pipe. Please contact me at (619) 678-3203 marcus carey.

I was going to get some lunch and I noticed a low brake fluid message was on. So I popped the hood to check fluid level and sure enough it was. I went to auto zone purchased some fluid and filled the reservoir and all seemed fine, but before I could get back to the office the message low brake fluid appeared again. Again I filled the reservoir with fluid at the end of my shift,the message went away and I headed home. As preceded home the message appeared again and I had to purchase more fluid and repeatedly filled the reservoir to make it home . After I got home I looked around the vehicle for leaks and there was none. I explained what happened to my mechanic and he told me my master cylinder was bad and that all the extra fluid I had put into the reservoir had leaked into my booster. About the same time I got a letter stating that a class action lawsuit was being filed in regard to brake failure and here I am.
Brake booster leaking. Eco booster leaking oil on manifold.
They have a faulty master cylinder on the brakes causing brake issues. I was driving down state road 80 after hurricane ian and a car slammed on its brakes in front of me because a vehicle lost a load off of their tailgate. I slammed on my brakes but I didn't break very well. It was very squishy into the floor and I relied on distance. The brakes gave a little assistance.
I only used my VIN to get this far. The issue that I have concerns a very important safety feature that I have yet to see on any vehicle. With more and more vehicles being produced with automatic braking systems, I am wondering why the automakers don't have a specific light option on the rear of the vehicle that illuminates when the abs is activated. There are still millions of vehicles on the road that don't have abs. This feature would inform following drivers the difference between slowing down and quickly stopping. It could be placed in the middle of the rear brake light that is in the upper middle of the rear window. So, you are probably wondering why I am bringing this to your attention. That is because I have wasted 30k of my own money on 2 different marketing firms trying to get my patent noticed, with no luck. The patent number is 9,643,535 b1. Check it out. I dare you.
Hello - my 2014 f150 experiencing this issue, but Ford says my VIN is not on the recall list. Truck pulled brake fluid into the engine from faulty brake booster / master, lost all brakes, lots of smoke, brake fluid reservoir empty. Brake master cylinder may leak into booster NHTSA campaign number: 20v332 a loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel and feel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, possibly requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
Vehicle was repaired under recall Ford safety recall 16s24, due to failing brake master cylinder which was leading to total brake failure. The subject vehicle (VIN 1ftfw1ct6efb00788) was taken into a Ford service center to perform the recall repairs in Mar 2017. Ford replaced the mater cylinder at the time under the recall. Recently (10/13/2022) the vehicle experienced complete brake failure while driving with all the same symptoms described in the original Ford safety recall 16s24. Audible chime with full screen screen message on the dash cluster warning of brake issues. The vehicle coasted to a stop after taking appropriate actions (downshift and e-brake) to come to a stop without crashing or injuries. The vehicle was towed to a Ford service center for diagnoses. Ford diagnoses was rear seal failure of the master cylinder which allowed all the brake fluid from the reservoir to leak into the brake booster, leading to brake failure. This is the exact scenario described in Ford safety recall 16s24. Neither the Ford service center or Ford corporate customer service (Ford case # cas 39130043) will acknowledge repairs as they indicated that the recall is no longer applicable to my vehicle. I don't know if Ford used the same suspect master cylinder p/n to execute the repair, however it seems the issue described in the original recall is still an issue even after recall repairs are performed. At this point, Ford is charging me for the repairs to fix the issue, however the greater concern is that people driving the vehicle in the recall after getting this recall completed might be at risk of crash and injury. Also learning online that I am not unique with the issue described above. Please let me know if there is any additional information such as the latest Ford diagnoses report or documentation is needed to help further escalate this complaint.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message brake fluid low was displayed, and the brake pedal extended to the floor while attempting to stop the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was discovered that there was no brake fluid inside the brake fluid reservoir but there was no evidence of a brake fluid leak found. Brake fluid was added but the failure persisted. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 162,000.
Ford defrauded the u. S. Government by knowingly installing defectively-engineered parts in my truck as part of a recall and then claiming the issue was repaired. Ford obviously had so many catastrophic brake system failures it necessitated a federal recall. However, Ford admitted they never redesigned the faulty parts to mitigate the problem from happening again. This it tantamount to providing a liver transplant patient with a liver from a chronic alcoholic. Ford absolutely knew the affected parts were defectively-designed and/or defectively manufactured, yet chose to put those exact same parts back in the truck and then lie to the federal government that said parts fixed the problem. All Ford achieved was kicking the can down the road. Not surprisingly, my brake system catastrophically failed again after Ford "fixed it" during the recall. I guarantee there are other owners out there who have experienced the same problem. Ford must be investigated for fraud and held accountable. When I contacted Ford about the problem, their customer service supervisor said they refuse to cover the cost of the repair because it had been more than a year since parts they knew were defective were installed. Even Ford's executive team refuses to acknowledge the immorality in this situation, and has also expressly refused to reimburse me. They said it doesn't matter if I plowed into a bunch of kids, they are not in any way responsible for putting known defective parts back in my truck. Surely this is not acceptable to NHTSA, as your agency exists precisely to prevent this sort of corrupt behavior by automakers. Ford lied to your office. Will that behavior be excused, or will it be investigated and prosecuted? if someone slams into a girl scout parade and kills a bunch of children because their supposedly "fixed" brakes failed, will your office be satisfied it did everything it could to prevent that, knowing Ford defrauded you?.
Catastrophic brake failure. Recal 16s24 was completed on this truck, but the "repair" failed. Either the same defective parts were put back in or new but still defectively-designed parts were installed. Current symptoms are identical to the text in the recall. Pedal goes to the floor, large quantities of brake fluid are pumped out of the master cylinder reservoir, little to no observable leaking of brake fluid is observed, so per the recall fluid is being pumped into the vacuum booster. Ford refuses to address the problem. Their official policy is no recall will be repaired more than once even if the supposed "repair" also catastrophically fails. Their goal appears to be to make the "repair" last just barely longer than 1 year so they can deny coverage thereafter and make the customer deal with the repeated failure. Failure was instantaneous in that the truck was just sitting in the driveway. Brakes were fine the night before, but the next day when I went to drive it the pedal went to the floor and the brake fluid reservoir was essentiall empty. Had I been driving or towing a trailer this could easily have resulted in multiple fatalities. Ford was adamant that subsequent failures are not their responsibility.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the engine light was illuminated as well as other codes (unsure of the exact codes). The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer who informed them that their failure related to NHTSA campaign number: 14v709000 (exterior lighting, service brakes, hydraulic) however their VIN was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case regarding the matter. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000.
The master cylinder failed when brake pedal was pressed. A complete total brake failure happened and I had no braking power but the parking brake, had I entered into the main traffic and applied my brakes nothing would happen and I probably would have had an accident. I didn't have time to look for any warning lites as I was focused on beong able to stop the truck. As for my safety and others it could have been bad if not me being able to stop the truck.
The brakes stopped working and I hit my office trailer this morning and almost one of the workers on the jobsite. I didn't do any damage to the trailer or the body of my truck due to the low speed I was traveling. I have been working on cars my whole life and although I am not a certified auto mechanic I am 100% positive that the fluid from the master cylinder has leaked into the booster. Before I arrived to my jobsite the brake light came on due to the brake fluid reservoir being empty. There is already a recall for this very dangerous failure and it should be Fords responsibility to make my truck safe just like others with the same exact make, models, years and issues.
Brake fluid leaking from reservoir into brake chamber required to pump brakes to stop truck.
Brake warning light came on and brake pedal went further down toward floorboard. Drove cautiously to auto parts store for brake fluid. Thankfully I wasn’t driving at higher speeds on a major highway. Filled empty reservoir and made it to independent auto repair shop about 3 miles away. Reservoir empty again. Mechanic says brake master cylinder is leaking brake fluid into the brake booster. Informed me of safety recall 16s24, but my VIN was not included. Same make, model, engine size and manufacturing plant as recall. Called local Ford dealership and they would not fix for free, because VIN not included. Repair cost me $1395. 54! I do not understand why my truck is not covered under the recall and request a further investigation as to why Ford is not responsible for the reimbursement of the failed safety components.
Brakes failed suddenly. Thankfully in a parking lot but 10 minutes earlier I was going 65 down the highway. Had it towed to mechanic. Brake master cylinder failure. Requires $1200 repair to replace brake master cylinder and brake booster. No open recalls shown. Very unsafe.
I was driving in town. Suddenly the "check brake fluid" light came on and brakes stopped working. Had to push all the way to the floor to get truck stopped. Went immediately to an independent service center nearby to have brakes checked. Mechanic knew immediately what the problem was and showed me where the brake fluid was going into the brake booster. He also stated he has seen the problem before and there is a recall out by Ford. I immediately contacted the Ford dealership where I purchased the vehicle new. They told me I could bring it in for repairs but checked the VIN number and said there was no recall out for my truck yet. It was not safe to drive the truck in the condition it was in. I made a very cautious and slow drive approximately 20 miles to get the truck from my home to southwest Ford in weatherford, texas for repairs. The repairs were made and I paid a total of $1,146. 38 to cover the repairs. This problem is part of an ongoing recall. I am requesting my VIN be added to the recall for this known problem so that I may request a reimbursement from Ford motor CO. Thank you. Bob sillivent 100 wooley CT. Weatherford, TX 76085.

Brakes went out in a school zone. Brake went straight to the floor. Could have killed a kid. I do have a 2014 model so it’s odd mine wasn’t part of the recall.
Brakes started grinding and a fluid like substance was coming out. Took it in for a check and brake pad had came off and caliper had busted and was leaking brake fluid.
