Master cylinder, Power assist
5L Ecoboost engines. The brake master cylinder may leak brake fluid into the brake booster. 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.
Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake master cylinder and inspect the brake booster, replacing it as necessary, free of charge.

Recall 16V345000 · May 2016Switch, Pedals and linkages
The affected vehicles may have a brake pedal position switch that is improperly adjusted. As a result, the brake lights may illuminate with a delay or not at all. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." If the brake lights fail to illuminate, or illuminate after a delay, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Fix: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will adjust the brake pedal position switch, free of charge. Note: Until the vehicle has been remedied, owners are advised not to use their cruise control system.
