Ford recalling 1.2 million vehicles
Threat of engine fires noted in trucks, SUVs and vans


"WASHINGTON - Ford Motor Co., already reeling from business setbacks, recalled 1.2 million trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans Thursday amid concerns about potential engine fires.

Ford said the recall was tied to the speed control deactivation switch system, which could corrode over time, overheat and ignite. It builds upon one of the largest recalls in U.S. history."
::includes::
"The recall involves vehicles fueled by gasoline or natural gas and equipped with speed control, including the 1994-2002 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 F-Super Duty trucks, 2000-2002 Excursion SUVs, 1994-1996 Econoline vans and 1996-2002 E-450 vans, and 1998 Explorers and Mountaineers. The recall does not involve similar vehicles fueled by diesel."

My Beater is a 1995 F-150 159,000 miles. I received a recall letter about that in 2005. It very easy to just deactivate the cruise control and pull that plug that can cause a fire.

My stepdad has an 04 F-150. Never got any recalls or notices about it last time, since it didn't apply to his model year.

This is the letter I received 9/2005. I was not the first owner, but they still found me. But if you remove the connector from the master cylinder the risk is gone as is your cruise control.

We did get the notice on his Lincoln Blackwood, though. He didn't have it anymore at that time. His company was bought out by another company and there went his huge raise he had gotten, so bye-bye truck!
