2015 XLT 4WD Brake Issue

[Lnstrqc85]

So I was driving on the freeway going about 65mph. “Parking Brake Engaged” came on the message center and the Parking Brake light came on the dash (we rarely use our parking brake). So I exited and started applying the brakes. Brake pedal was rock hard and felt as if the ABS was engaged. I checked all the calibers and discs and everything seems to be in order. Turned the vehicle off and waited for about 10 minutes and started the vehicle. Now everything seems to be fine.

Any input and suggestions will be greatly appreciate.

How's your brake fluid level looking?

Halfway between minimum and max.

Do you have the hill start assist feature or just an e-brake?

I believe there is a recall or a TSB for the master cylinder on 2015 and early 2016 trucks. Please do your diligence and check this out so you don’t end up with no brakes on the thruway.

You could have the vehicle scanned by a Ford dealer for any fault codes, including the ABS unit.

Just the e-brake.
