Problem overview

Some Lincoln MKX owners report experiencing brake failure issues, particularly related to the brake booster. These problems can manifest as service brake malfunctions, necessitating the replacement of the brake booster, master cylinder, and booster vacuum hoses. Ford has acknowledged these brake booster issues and initiated a Customer Satisfaction Program (#13N02) offering free replacements within a designated timeframe or mileage limit. Additionally, some owners have reported instances where the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, which has been linked to a recall for the brake booster (recall 13N02). These concerns underscore the critical need for prompt attention to brake failure issues to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the Lincoln MKX's braking system.
