  Service brakes, hydraulic › Power assist › Hydraulic
  Covers: Ford Ranger 1991–1994, Explorer 1991–1994

  Reported issue: The studs which attach the brake master cylinder to the power brake vacuum booster assembly can develop stress corrosion cracking after being operated for an extended period of time in the southern california location.
