Dearborn, Mich. - Ford is conducting a voluntary safety recall involving speed control deactivation switch systems in 3.6 million vehicles.
The service action involves the installation of a fused wiring harness into the speed control electrical circuit, or the replacement of the deactivation switch if it is found to be leaking. This is a quick repair, and will be performed on vehicles built between 1992 and 2003.
Ford dealers will provide this service to all affected vehicles at no charge to the customers. The company has a sufficient supply of parts to service the affected trucks. The supply of parts to service the affected cars is expected to be available in early October. Owners of all affected vehicles will be notified by mail.
While these vehicles are not subject to the systems interaction issues affecting vehicles in the prior recall populations, Ford is taking this action to address continued customer concerns about the potential for fires in their vehicles. We cannot be confident in the long term durability of the speed control deactivation switches.
At no charge to customers, Ford or Lincoln/Mercury Dealers will inspect the speed control deactivation switch and install a fused wiring harness between the current speed control wiring and the deactivation switch or, if necessary, replace the deactivation switch. The harness acts to protect the switch in the rare event of increased electrical current flow through the switch.
Owners of trucks that are affected by this recall will be instructed to take their vehicles to a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership for repairs. Owners of cars that are affected by this recall will be directed to bring their vehicles into their dealership to have the speed control disconnected, as an interim repair, until parts are available to perform the final repair in early October, which is the same as the repair for trucks. |
