Ford is recalling an estimated 1.5 million vehicles due to issues with either brake hoses or windshield wipers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Ford estimates that out of the 1.28 million vehicles subject to the brake hose recall, 2% of those vehicles have the brake hose defect.You can detect a brake hose issue in your affected Ford model by looking for “a change to the brake pedal feel and travel.” A warning indicator light for the brake fluid also may turn on.
Ford will send owners letters about the brake fluid issue from April 17-28, informing them to bring their cars to a Ford or Lincoln dealer. Dealers will replace the defective hoses for free., the windshield wipers might fail before their expected shelf life due to a defect that could cause the wipers to stop working or break altogether. This can cause a safety hazard while driving in inclement weather.

A factory original Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth with only 21,523 miles. MODEL HISTORY Five hundred extra special examples of the 150 mph Ford Sierra RS Cosworth went on sale in Britain on August 1st 1987. This more powerful ‘evolution’ model was introduced to allow Ford to develop the original limited production run of 5,000 needed to allow the car to be homologated for International Touring Car Racing in Group A. Aston Martin at Tickford were assigned with converting the 500 cars and in addition to the more powerful 224bhp YBD engine, (with the potential to exceed 400bhp in race trim), numerous aerodynamic features were incorporated in the bodywork. These include a 30mm lip spoiler applied directly to the rear edge of the tailgate to increase rear downforce. New and larger cooling ducts were included in the design of the front bumper for the intercooler and the front brakes, as well as an aerodynamic splitter. Ford’s intention was for every RS500 to be finished in Black but limited stock of the regular Cosworths resulted in 56 Diamond White and 52 Moonstone Blue being converted. The vehicle was only available through 90 specialist Ford RS (Rally-Sport) dealers in Britain at a cost of £19,950, a £4,000 premium over a standard RS Cosworth. (Source Ford News Release 87/76).
