The two models of recalled cars are 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX midsize luxury SUVs and the 2015-2018 Edge SUVs. If you were injured in a crash with either of these models, give the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group a call. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we\u2019ve been involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call Moll Law Group About Your Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ford has explained that when its flexible brake hose has a leak, a driver may find that there\u2019s an increase in brake pedal travel and an increase in stopping distance, a condition that increases the odds of a crash. When brake fluid gets low, a red brake fluid warning indicator light illuminates. The remedy for the problem with the brake fluid is expected to be available only in April. This is one of several Ford recalls in August\u2014the company attributes the increase in recalls to its commitment to protect consumers, including by doubling its safety and technical expert teams.<\/p>\n<p>If you were injured in a crash that was caused by low brake fluid, you should consult attorneys about whether you have grounds to file a product liability lawsuit. These are lawsuits brought to recover economic and noneconomic damages arising out of injuries from a dangerous and defective product.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/500000-ford-vehicles-recalled-over-potential-leak-in-brake-fluid\/#more-3585\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, Ford recalled 500,000 of its vehicles because of a problem with the hose in the cars\u2019 rear brake system that can cause two models of its cars to experience a rupture that results in leaked brake fluid.
