2023 Ford F-600 had leaking brake booster which caused the brakes to be constantly applied.

The defective brake booster could have caused loss of brake assist or brake failure. This is a commercial vehicle with an approximate GVWR of 22,000lbs that is used daily to service clients. A defective brake booster compromises the driver's ability to control the vehicle, potentially leading to a hazardous …
