Brakes, tires, wipers. If those three aren't working, you're on borrowed time.

I had an F150 affected by the late 90's ABS recall. I pulled the ABS fuse and used it that way until 2017. When I sold it I hooked back up the fuse and made an appointment at Ford for the recall. New buyer thought that was nice of me.
I'm sure Ford was thrilled to do a recall on a 19 year old truck.

I have a Ford?

Sweet!  What kind?  I hope it's a Mustang.

But I thought ICE vehicles didn't have big recalls like those nasty unsafe environmentally unsound EVs that are always exploding for no reason at all.

Haha the Brake Fluid warning low light came on the way to work in my 2016 Focus going up a hill.  It turned itself off when leveled out.

I already made an appointment though.  They also don't mention Focus in the recall.

Why did you buy a Focus?  Was a Matchbox too expensive?

I have a 2013 Fusion and this will be at least the 5th different recall on it. Might be time for a new car sometime this year.

NHTSA says they could "rupture prematurely," in turn causing a progressive brake fluid leak.

Would that type of leak cause a loss of flow?

I bought it because I think it's a great car.

My Focus RS is 350 HP AWD road weapon.

Should recall them for those headlights... JFC people, do you really need 200 million candlepower?

Depends on the condition of your muffler and ball joints.
