Popular utes recalled over brake defect

AutoExec Summary
Ford and Mazda have recalled their Ranger and BT-50 utes due to serious braking system flaws. The models, sold between 2016 and 2018, risk brake hose splits and caliper cracks, increasing accident potential. Affected vehicles include 30,505 BT-50s and 89,094 Rangers. The issue may worsen with off-road driving, prompting free inspections and repairs. Despite the recall, the Ranger was Australia’s second-best-selling vehicle in early 2019, while the BT-50 ranked 25th. Future collaborations between Ford and Mazda are not planned.
