Ford Motor Co said it was recalling about 271,000 F-150 pickup trucks in North America to replace their brake master cylinders.

The company said on Wednesday it was aware of nine possible accidents with no injuries and one alleged injury not associated with an accident. 

Ford said it was possible that the leak of brake fluid from the cylinder could increase the risk of a crash.
