Ford has issued a sizable recall for two of its small SUVs, the Bronco Sport and Escape, after discovering the presence of faulty brake linings.

Affected vehicles from the Blue Oval brand include approximately 115,000 model-year 2021-22 Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs. The issue stems from rear brake linings that may have been manufactured incorrectly; in certain situations, the driver thus may have to apply more brake-pedal force than usual, and the distance required to stop the vehicle may be extended, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford does not yet have a fix for the problem, but owners will be notified starting Jan. 10, 2022. Those with further questions can call the automaker at 866-436-7332, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
