The Ford F-150's vacuum tube is being recalled, identified by the NHTSA with ID number #08V208000 and action number #PE08001. This recall impacts 2005-2006 Ford F-150 and Lincoln LT models outfitted with a 3.5 liter V8 engine. Over time, the brake booster vacuum hose connected to the intake manifold assembly may enlarge and detach. The fix necessitates replacing the hose with a new clamp fitting to prevent detachment, as the current plug-in connection method can malfunction. Without proper vacuum supply to the brakes, brake assist will be disabled, requiring drivers to exert significant manual force on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. This loss of braking power poses the risk of accidents or collisions.
