Ford issued the largest single recall in its history Tuesday as drivers of an additional 4.5 million vehicles were alerted about a fire hazard from a faulty switch.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said this was the eighth recall, involving a total of 16 million Ford Motor vehicles.

This cannot be good for Ford, the timing is terrible. Just when they are ready to introduce new models, this will set Ford back a bit.

ouch...this makes the TMC floor mat issue seem minor

All I can say is, OUCH. Compared to the Toyota floor mat issue, this is more serious.

I always thought these new Ford are hot cars

recall includes the following Ford models: 1995-2003 Windstars, 2000-2003 Excursion diesels, 1993-1997 and 1999-2003 F-Super Duty diesels, 1992-2003 Econolines, 1995-2002 Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers, 1995-1997 and 2001-2003 Rangers and 1994 F35 motorhomes.

This has been an ongoing problem for ford, I think one of the temporary solutions to the cruise control switch was to deactivate it, and when an actual fix is made, they call back the owners

The recall is not that bad, does not effect any newer cars

Must have made Mr. Toyota's day.
