Ford has launched a large-scale recall: this time, Ranger pickups built from June 27, 2024, to June 24, 2025, are being called in. The issue stems from a potential failure of the electric brake booster (EBB), which could increase stopping distances and heighten the risk of a crash.According to the company, 340,756 vehicles worldwide will be repaired, including 8,524 in Germany. If the booster fails, the driver would have to apply much more force to the brake pedal to slow the vehicle — a scenario that is unwelcome in day-to-day traffic.To address the defect, dealers will update the EBB module’s software. The procedure will take little time and is free of charge for owners, which should make the whole process relatively painless.The campaign is being overseen by Germany’s Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) and is registered under number 15443R. Internally, Ford labels the recall as “25S77.”
