Ford recalls more than 120,000 trucks and SUVs due to brake problems
Ford recalls due to brake issues

Following up on 2024, which saw it rank number two in the total number of vehicles recalled, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford is beginning the first quarter of 2025 on its way to another high mark year. This time around, three separate vehicles are being recalled, totalling 123,611 in all.
The Problem
Ford Motor Company is recalling some 2017-2018 F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator vehicles. There’s a potential problem with the brake master cylinder that might let brake fluid leak into the brake booster. This can lead to reduced braking ability and a longer stopping distance, which increases the risk of an accident.
The Solution
If your vehicle is affected, you’ll need to take it to an authorized Ford dealer. They’ll replace the brake master cylinder for free. If the master cylinder is leaking, they will also replace the brake booster at no additional charge. You can expect to receive a notification letter regarding this on April 28, 2025. If you have any questions or need help before then, reach out to Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. The recall reference number is 25S37, which expands on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall number 22V-150.
Additional Notes
If you need more info or want to report any safety issues, you can contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1- 888-275-9171) or check out their website at www.safercar.gov.

Peer-to-peer car-sharing platforms like Turo are seriously changing the way people in America look at owning a car. A recent survey by American Muscle gives us some cool insights into how folks view these services. A lot of people find car-sharing super convenient and a great way to save some cash. Plus, with so many vehicle options available, it's easy to pick something that fits their needs—whether it’s for a fun weekend trip, a road adventure with friends, or just running errands around town. This new approach is reshaping how we think about getting around and makes life a bit easier for everyone.

It makes total sense that some users feel uncertain about trusting the platform. Concerns about the condition of the cars are fairly common—no one wants to end up with a ride that can't be relied upon. Plus, it’s natural to have concerns about dealing with other people; trusting strangers can be tough. These feelings can definitely make people hesitant to jump in and fully use the service. It's important to recognize these concerns because they affect how much folks enjoy the experience.
