I am filing this complaint because a Ford-authorized dealership, West Hills Ford in Bremerton, Washington, returned my vehicle to me in an unsafe condition after performing a repair under federal safety recall 25S37 (the federal safety agency Campaign 25V‑236, brake master cylinder), and because an independent inspection has since documented physical evidence of a real defect connected to that repair. Please see attached documents outlining this entire incident as well as supporting documentation.

My 2017 Ford F-150 is subject to safety recall 25V236 / 25S37 for a faulty brake master cylinder that can leak fluid and cause a loss of front braking function. I contacted the dealership to have the safety repair completed, but I was informed that the necessary replacement parts are on indefinite backorder with no estimated arrival date. No interim safety defect remedy or loaner vehicle has been provided by the manufacturer. I am forced to drive a vehicle with a known, critical braking defect, posing an immediate safety risk to myself and others on the road. The manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner.
