Ford Motor Co. is recalling about 50,000 Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT pickup trucks in Canada to fix a hose that could affect the vehicles' braking power.

The automaker is issuing the recall of more than 655,000 in all of the 2005-2006 versions of the trucks with 5.4 litre, three-valve engines.

That's according to a posting Wednesday on the website of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood says more than 600,000 of the trucks are in the United States and about 1,500 are in other countries around the world.

Ford says there have been 11 minor accidents and no injuries tied to the issue.

Dealers will replace the hose at no charge to consumers - owners are expected to be notified in late June, and the recall is expected to begin in July.
