- Summary
- On certain mini van conversions, the brake lines may have been routed incorrectly. The brake lines can make contact and chafe on the stabilizer bar.
- Consequence
- If this happens, the lines could wear through causing partial or full loss of braking ability due to a loss of brake fluid which could result in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the brake lines to make sure the routing is correct. If no chafing is found, the brake lines will be secured to the vehicle chassis. If the brake lines are worn, the lines will be replaced. The recall began on may 15, 2007. Owners may contact vmi at 1-800-348-8267.

Has your Ford been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.
