Good to know. I just sent a friend with a Mercury Mountaineer a link to this. Thank you.

Has anyone had the work done on their vehicle yet for this recall? We've heard various reports of how the "fix" is made.

I checked with the Ford dealer today and they can check your VIN to see if you're one of the lucky ones. Not all in the range are involved.

I was one of the lucky ones and had the work done today. It took about 45 minutes and they put a fusable link in line that would burn up before the brake fluid reservoir got hot.

Thanks, Jack. We "retired" our 2002 Explorer by passing it to our daughter. We'll make sure she gets it into the shop!
