Falcon hose replacements

...

SHOULD I ask my Ford dealer to replace front and rear brake hoses in my 2004 BA Falcon? I understand many BA owners are having brake hoses replaced at dealers' cost because of splitting concerns. Could you confirm this?

YES. Dealers will replace the rear hoses on your car, on instructions from head office, but they will probably baulk at replacing the front hoses. Ford doesn't acknowledge there is a problem with the front hoses, but we beg to differ. Ford is investigating the hose failure issue and we are awaiting those findings.
