Ford/Mercury Family Recall

[Pete Dumbleton]

Lots of vehicles (cars, trucks, SUVs and vans) involved. According to posters on another group it takes about one-half hour for them to install some fusible-link wires.

....Phew! My trusty '92 Explorer is not involved. I am always on cruise control now.

"Owners will begin receiving recall notices on Aug. 13. Jarvis said the parts for passenger cars would not be available until early October. In the meantime, owners can take their vehicle to a dealer to have their cruise control deactivated until the parts arrive. The parts are available for trucks, Jarvis said.

Dealers will install a fused wiring harness into the speed control electrical system or replace the deactivation switch if its found to be leaking.

Owners with questions about the recall can contact Ford at (888) 222-2751"

I believe the auto companies dredge through the various state and province vehicle registration data bases to get the current owners for stuf like this.
