Cruise control recall expanded to include Superduty

Ford adds 4.5M vehicles to defective switch recall - Yahoo! News

Up to MY 2003. If you don't get the notice from Ford, ask your service department.

Just to clarify, the Superduty was included before, but now the diesel motors are included. We've seen several posts of Superduty V-10's catching fire from not getting the recall done. I don't recall ever seeing a fire post here with a diesel, but it looks like we get a new switch anyway.

A few techs weighed in last time, and said that if you have the red switch on the master cylinder, it's not necessary to do anything to it. Would love to hear if that's still valid.

My 2001 was recalled last time, I never took it in, just wired in a 5 amp fuse myself.

It only took my Ford service 5 minutes to install their fuse, on both my Superduty's and my E250. In and out, took longer to do the paperwork.

From my understanding all it is is a fuseable link more or less. just plug it between the two conectors and yu are gone,

Thanks for clarifying that. The article wasn't clear to me as to what the newly added vehicles were.

Yep, at the Ford dealer by the house a guy comes out from the service area with a harness and a couple of zip ties, trucks never went to the service area, fast as could be.

So i have a modest electricial background. But it sounds to me like they are not replacing what is the problem, they are just using a fuse for ckt protection?

"Ford advised owners of all vehicles covered by the recall to park them outside until they are mailed instructions by the end of the month on how to get repairs."

My truck has been on the road for 10 years. I'm not going to stop driving it until I get the letter.

Yeah, I guess it's okay if your truck burns down, so long as they don't have to pay to rebuild your garage/house.
