I saw this last night also... very disturbing. Said it may effect as many as 16million vehicles??? They said it comes front the pressure switch that turns your cruise off when you hit the brake. It's located at the front, top of the master cylinder. I think I may just un-plug it for awhile until I can find a replacement switch to correct this. They even had video of a fire marshal replacing a fuse on his own truck and right after he closed the fuse box the switch started puffing smoke and starting fire.... if he wouldn't have un-plugged it; it surly would have caught fire.... I wonder what they were thinking having a switch like that stay “hot” all the time even with the key off. Especially when only what looks like a small foil film between the electronics and flammable brake fluid. Makes me wonder what other parts are poorly engineered….
