According to the NHTSA report, drivers should see a warning light before braking performance is affected, but they will experience a change in brake feel and a reduction in the effectiveness of the front brakes if the problem is not addressed.

Ford previously recalled the F-150 twice for the same issue and knows of four low- speed accidents but no injuries related to it.
