    How common is a vacuum booster failure on vehicles. I don't recall in over 40 years ever experiencing this type of failure. I had a failure on my 2010 F150 with only 47000 miles, thankfully it was in a safe location.

    Not very common at all. One of those freak occurrences I'm guessing.

    I had sold several brake boosters when I was assistant
    manager at Advance Auto Parts 1993-1994.
    Mostly it was for GM vehicles.
    Reading from online, majority of the time it is the vacuum hose
    leaking or broken and not the actual booster diaphram.

    Thanks for the replies, just concerns me since this failure would have been disastrous if not for the fact that I was parking my vehicle when it occurred.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    i would send the broken part out to ford and ask them to inspect what was the actual cause of failure.

    It wouldn't have been disastrous. You'll still have brakes just not power brakes it'd just take more effort to stop if it went out. My mustang doesn't even have power brakes
