Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Frontline is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 electronic news gathering (ENG) vehicles built on a Ford E-350 chassis that have an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar and were manufactured between October 31, 2006, and July 12, 2011. These vehicles may have a defect where the rear anti-sway bar frame mounting bolt threads can come into contact with the steel hydraulic brake line, causing metal-to-metal abrasion that may eventually rupture the brake line and result in a loss of hydraulic service brake pressure.
If service brake pressure is lost, drivers may not be able to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Frontline will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge through local Ford dealers and Frontline authorized service facilities. The manufacturer began contacting owners by telephone on July 12, 2011, and owners may contact Frontline Communications at 1-727-573-0400.
