• Description:

  This Genuine Ford brake master cylinder reservoir is the correct replacement fluid reservoir for the 2013-2019 Ford Escape and 2013-2019 Lincoln MKC, mounted to the rear of the master cylinder body on the brake booster. The reservoir stores the brake fluid supply that feeds both primary and secondary master cylinder bores, and its translucent plastic construction lets the fluid level be checked visually against the MIN and MAX markings without removing the cap. A cracked, warped, or leaking reservoir typically shows up as a low brake fluid warning light on the dash, visible fluid seepage or wet residue around the base of the reservoir where it seats on the master cylinder, a spongy or gradually sinking brake pedal as air enters the system through the crack, or fluid loss with no other visible leak point in the brake lines or calipers. Because brake fluid is corrosive to paint and absorbs moisture from the air over time, a cracked reservoir can also allow contaminated fluid to attract water into the hydraulic system, which lowers the fluid's boiling point and increases the risk of brake fade under hard or repeated braking. This reservoir replaces the earlier CV6Z-2C246-B part number, so either number appearing on your vehicle's build history confirms correct fitment. Installation involves removing the old reservoir from the master cylinder body, transferring or replacing the rubber grommets and cap, and bleeding the brake system afterward to remove any air introduced during the repair; always use fresh brake fluid of the type specified on the reservoir cap and never mix fluid types, since incompatible fluids can damage rubber seals throughout the hydraulic system. Because the master cylinder reservoir also commonly supplies fluid to the electronic stability control hydraulic unit on these platforms, a cracked or empty reservoir can trigger stability control and ABS warning lights in addition to the brake warning light.
