While driving down the highway, the low brake fluid light sounded and the brake light came on . we slowly loss brakes while driving down the HWy. We added brake fluid, which there was no brake fluid in there at all .When we added the fluid, we pump the brakes and they tighten . Shortly after adding more fluid , the fluid and brakes were gone and white smoke came out of the tail pipe. We never could see exactly where it was leaking at. We added about a quart and a half of fluid . After adding the more fluid, we managed to get it up to the dealership where it was purchased . We explain to what was going on and he knew of the situation because he said it was a recall last year on the master cylinder if I’m saying it, right. I told him that we never received a recall letter but we left the vehicle and he did research by our Vin number, and said we were not part of the recall, but I read a recall number 22S14 about the break failure in expeditions. We called the local number attached to the recall and they once again told us that our vehicle was not part of the recall because I guess it was not out of the Kentucky plant . We are having the same issue with our brakes, but it’s not covered in the current recall. My vehicle is currently in the shop and waiting to be repaired. Can someone research and see if our vehicle can be part of the recall now and be repaired under the/a recall. thank you.

2017 ford expedition. Consumer writes in regard to brake failure.
Winner Ford still doesn't have the part to fix my March 2022 recall of Brake Master cylinder.
The recall has not been fixed. Winner Ford, Dover DE 19901, still does have the part for the Brake master cylinder. The other recall for the fan and blower has been fixed BUT it went bad last year 2021 and I had it repaired using at Winner Ford, Dover DE 19901 and paid $100 deducted using my extended warranty. I inquired today October 17, 2022 at Winner Ford Service department, Dover DE 19901 to have the $100 refunded. I feel that it should be refunded especially since there is still no remedy and it could go bad again.
My brake fluid is low warning light came on and I checked it and my brake fluid was completely empty there was no apparent leaking from anywhere within eye sight. I refilled it and a week later the same thing happened. Then I get a letter in the mail saying there is a recall about leaking break fluid and no dealer ship in my area has any availability within a reasonable amount of time. I have two kids and work full time I cannot go without a vehicle and I do not feel save driving it my breaks stopped working due to the leaking fluid which is FORDS fault.
