Ford Recalls 4.5 Million Additional Vehicles In Switch Recall
Faulty Part Could Cause Fire; Largest Recall In Ford's History
Ford Motor Co. says it will add 4.5 million older-model vehicles to the list of those recalled because a defective cruise control switch could cause a fire.
Ford says 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans will be recalled for repairs due to a small risk of fires.
The company says another 3.4 million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with the same switches also will be recalled even though there have been no reports of fires. Those vehicles mainly are trucks and SUVs.
All vehicles covered by the recall are from the 1992 to 2003 model years.
Sherwood says this is Ford's seventh recall due to the Texas Instruments speed control switches. The recalls cover a total of 14.3 million vehicles and combined are the largest in Ford's history.
Now, I realize all manufacturers have recalls and what not but 14.5 million? And, let us not forget the "Explorer" rollover debacle.....
Kind of makes me wonder about their quality control.

Wow, you found this all by yourself. You do know this is a Voluntary recall also. Glad Ford decided to step up and just make a blanket recall covering all vehicles possibly affected.
You really don't want me to list all of GM's recalls because the number will get larger. Nice try tho.
