Despite fire risk, 5 million recalled cars still on the road, unrepaired
-Miami Herald
09/27/2008- If your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury was part of the cruise-control switch recalls and you haven't done anything about it, don't delay. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, of the 12 million vehicles recalled, five million still haven't been brought to a dealership for a corrective repair.
Over time, the faulty cruise-control switches can corrode, overheat and ignite, causing engine fires. The problem was initially acknowledged as plaguing trucks in 2005, but it was eventually linked to a myriad of other models since then, and the recall has grown accordingly.
To find out whether your car is affected, call 888-222-2751 (toll-free) or enter your VIN (vehicle identification number).
