Software Bug Affects Ford Vehicle Braking System

Last April 1, Ford announced that it was recalling nearly half a million trucks as a brake system malfunction caused by a software error was discovered.

According to ABC News, the recalled vehicles concern Ford 2021 and 2022 models, in which they include: Super Duty, Ford Maverick, F-150, Lincoln Navigator and Expedition. Given that the problem detected is directly related to its software, its resolution is simple, and the Ford dealership will apply the appropriate software update. Ford will begin notifying owners of the affected models by mail starting in the next few weeks.

Just during the past week, the US multinational was in a similar situation, where it recalled more than 700,000 vehicles due to an oil leak related problem. According to Reuters, the models included the 2020 to 2022 Ford Escape SUV and the 2021 and 2022 Bronco Sport SUV with 1.5-liter engines, in which oil leakage could occur in engine parts, thus causing a serious fire hazard.
