ISSUE:
Complaints of brake pedal "high pedal efforts" or "too much pedal travel" on the first few brake applications after cold start-up, may be caused by a
higher coefficient of brake lining friction when the brake linings are cold.
ACTION:
New brake linings are now available that should improve pedal feel or efforts immediately after cold start-up. However, the wear life of the new linings
may be lower depending on driving habits. Refer to the following procedure for service details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

Refer to the Escort/Tracer Service Manual Section 06-03 for the proper repair procedure.
