critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious — you could lose braking entirely, so do not drive the car until the pedal is replaced.

⚠ NHTSA advises not driving this vehicle until it is repaired. See all such recalls.

What's wrong, in plain English

The brake pedal assembly in these cars may have been built wrong, which can leave the brake pedal feeling loose. A loose brake pedal can mean the brakes stop working when you press it. Ford is telling owners not to drive these cars until they are repaired. A dealer will replace the brake pedal and its mounting bracket with correctly built parts, and you will not be charged anything for the work.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your car is included. 2. Do not drive it; contact your Ford dealer or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (recall 23S61) to arrange the repair. 3. Have the dealer replace the brake pedal and bracket assembly — the repair is free.
