In response to the manufacturer’s call, Taurus ‘brake hoses have safety hazards, so they went to the local 4s shop to replace them for free. I heard in the group that when replacing the hoses, only the brake fluid is added to the lost part of the operation rather than replacing them all. After communication with Ford Micro Customer Service, it was confirmed that this was indeed the case. So I had doubts. Some brake fluid had just been replaced, but it didn’t matter. The maintenance manual stated that it would be replaced in three years or tens of thousands of kilometers. What if the car had two-year-old brake fluid? Isn’t it a mixture of old and new? That’s not good. After communicating with the local customer service and explaining the reason, the customer service replied that they should replace all of them. As for the situation reported by the driver who responded, the customer service believed that it might be because they did not see the replacement process, which led to misunderstanding.
I drove on the Golden Bull at the appointed time and went to the matter in the afternoon. When we arrived at the store, the customer service and teachers were very enthusiastic. It took fifty minutes to order, put it on the shelves, and operate it all in one go. Two masters operated it.
When adding brake fluid, ask the master for advice on how to know that the old oil has been drained out? Answer: This is to exhaust air. As long as the air is exhausted, it will be fine. As for whether all one liter of brake fluid can be used up, it is not certain. Besides, even if this brake system does not have any brake fluid, add it all, and not one liter will be used. This is the master’s words.
I was thinking that this would be because the manufacturer did not rigidly stipulate the entire replacement process and process. The micro customer service didn’t know who I was. She said it was a supplement, and the master also said it would be fine as long as the air in the pipes was drained. At the very least, it can be concluded that the manufacturer did not regard the replacement of all brake fluid as a key point of the process.

Completed and endorsed the work order

After completion, there is a special quality inspector for acceptance. However, it seems to be quite trustworthy with the homework of the fellow workers. I just looked at the liquid level of the brake fluid pot and the liquid level of the coolant expansion pot. Maybe I should check the braking performance when moving the car.
