Luckily it's mostly in their bigger trucks and gas guzzling towncars, but I thought I'd let people know just in case. What raised my concern was the fact that if not fixed it could potentially cause a fire!:mad:
This one almost slipped past us as we readied for the weekend, but Ford announced a big recall today, involving 3.6 million vehicles with a faulty cruise control switch that could potentially cause a fire. This is essentially a follow-up to the January recall involving 6 mil light trucks for basically the same concern. This newest recall affects about a dozen different Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models from model years 1992-2007. Ford is apparently undertaking this latest recall in response to complaints that the speed control deactivation switch is always on.
