WASHINGTON -- A massive recall was issued involving more than 600,000 pickup trucks, for what the Ford Motor Company said was a defective hose that could affect the trucks' brakes.
Owners of 2005 to 2006 models of the Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT pickups with 5.4-liter, three-valve engines were affected.
There were only a handful of minor accidents reported due to the problem, and no reported injuries.
Ford said it would begin sending owners notices about the recall next month, and fixing the trucks at dealerships in July for free.
