Ford's battered reputation has taken another hit with the company recalling 20,864 LPG cars.

The recall involves all BF Series II and III and the new FG Falcon sedan, wagon and utility fitted with the factory-fitted LPG system, called E-Gas, which are popular with fleets and tradies.

The cars affected were built from January 16, 2007 to August 22, 2008.

The defect involves the brake booster check valve, which may develop a vacuum leak.

Gee, not good publicity at all for Ford in these tough selling times...

Still good to see they're onto it and addressing such safety issues, hopefully no ones suffered from the faults in the meantime...

They charge Ford for the recall at set rates for each vehicle they do, like warranty work.
