Ford Ka's recalled due to brake failure fears

MORE than 600 Ford Ka's have been recalled due to a fault which could cause the brakes to fail.

Last week, 633 Irish owners received a letter urging them to return their car to a Ford garage for a safety recall.

The letter revealed that “a loss in braking efficiency” could occur, because the clip which secures one of the brake pipes to the front wheels is inclined to come away, causing the pipe to rub against the wheel and wear through.
