INDUSTRIAS MARTINREA BRAKE HOSE

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Brake hose assemblies in certain Chrysler and Ford vehicles may have been manufactured without proper anti-corrosion plating on the coupling fittings, which can cause premature corrosion and lead to a brake fluid leak. A brake fluid leak can reduce brake effectiveness and increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers for Chrysler and Ford will replace the affected brake hoses at no charge. Chrysler owners should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number U41), and Ford owners should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (recall number 18S19).

Details from the source

Industrias Martinrea de Mexico SA de CV (Martinrea) has submitted a Defect Information Report based upon decisions made by Chrysler (FCA US LLC) and Ford Motor Company to conduct recalls (numbers 18V277 and 18V389 respectively). The brake circuit hose assemblies located between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit, may have been manufactured without anti-corrosion plating on the coupling fittings, or "ferrules," of the hoses. This can lead to premature corrosion, and result in a brake fluid leak.
