Easy change

I WOULD like to add a positive note to the continuing discussions about the Ford brake hose issue. I have a 2005 BA XR6 Mk2 and have had no problems with it. I recently had the 45,000km service done, and was pleased to see that one of the jobs performed, listed as ``PRGC373 Recall'' and then described as ``Brake Hose Upgrade'' had been carried out without me asking.

FORD has done the right thing and replaced the problem hoses without you having to ask. But what happens if a dealer isn't as thorough and doesn't automatically make the change? And there are people who don't take their cars to Ford dealers for service and will miss out, or can't afford to have them serviced at all. A partial recall isn't enough; it's only going halfway to correct what is a serious safety issue.
