Vehicles Affected: Nearly 370 model-year 2014 Ford Transit Connect vans manufactured between March 1, 2014, and May 15, 2014 The Problem: The affected vehicles may have a brake reservoir cap that does not have the required text advising owners which brake fluid the vehicle uses. This could result in someone adding the wrong brake fluid, causing damage to the brake system seals and, in turn, brake fluid leaks; this could lengthen stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. The Fix: Ford notified owners on July 14, and dealers will replace the brake reservoir cap with the correct one for free. What Owners Should Do: Owners can call Ford at 800-392-3673, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.

And now for something completely different... Our 2012 TC Cargo has had it's right rear brake lamp go out. All other lights work, as do all of the left rear lamps. The bulb tested OK, but replaced it with new anyway. Still no joy when pedal depressed. Put the VOM on it, and no 12V to the socket. Reseated the wiring harness connector (inside was clean and not corroded), no joy. No evident cable or wiring abrasion. And as I said, the left side is perfectly happy. Anyone else seen this behavior? Would love to have a full schematic to follow where the voltage drops off from the switch to whatever to the rear right lamp assembly. Thank you in advance to anyone with ideas.
