Ford Fiesta, B-Max and Transit ABS fault – brakes locking on

Brakes locking Fiesta, Bmax, Transit

Common ABS pump malfunction for Ford Fiesta, B-Max and Transit will cause one or more brakes to bind/lock-up after depressing the brake pedal.

It is commonly known for one wheel to fail and cause the brake to lock on, however, opposite wheels can fail at the same time for example near side front and offside rear, or near side rear and offside front.

Internal component failure of the ABS, caused by a manufacturing defect, will prevent the brake calipers from releasing, making this a potentially highly dangerous fault.

 

To resolve this brake locking on issue, you may have been told that you need an expensive new replacement from the manufacturer. However because the defect has not yet been worked-out at factory level, these replacements are prone to fail in exactly the same way, and you only get a short 1-year warranty.

 

We offer a more cost effective solution – test and rebuild of your own ABS pump within 2-3 working days, complete with an unlimited mile Lifetime Warranty.

We will rebuild your ABS pump to a higher specification than OE standards to ensure that the fault does not return.

I have 2015 Ford Transit with a 3.7 liter engine. Brakes are locking up after depressing brake pedal. Do you have that abs control unit? Or can I send mine and have it rebuilt...thanks
