Clutch slave cylinder failed without warning. The clutch pedal went about 1/2 way before engaging. Difficult to engage clutch and shift transmission. I was towing a trailer at the time of failure. When I contacted the ford dealer to schedule repair he said not to drive the vehicle very far because complete failure would probably occur. I was also told that ford is very aware of this defect and has redesigned this part due to many failures. Even though an accident did not occur, I think a safety recall is needed since these vehicles are designed to haul or carry heavy loads and this type of failure could make it difficult to engage the clutch when trying to stop the vehicle, which could result in a catastrophic accident. The cost for repair was $305.26
