Recall 09S09
I just received a letter from Ford stating that my truck needs a " Speed Control System Modification"
Has anyone else taken part in this recall. Also, what's the recall encompass? Just what it says? Reprogramming of the ECU?
Anyhow I guess I'm wondering if it's a good or bad idea to get it done.
Thanks

Yeah I thought like that too but a friend of mine had his buddies go up in smoke and dang near burnt his house down. He brought pics to work fried the truck real good too. Its a simple thing on the CC swich of the brake cyl. They can do it while you wait. But it helps to be antsy about how long will it take. Call in advance and tell them you have a schedule to make.

get the thing done thats all i can say seen pics and not good, all it is, is a jumper harness that has a fuse in line of both wires going to the brake pressure switch on the master cylinder, the switch starts leaking and it has constant ground and power so when the flewed causes a shorts it melts both wires and starts a fire. i install them all the time and it only takes 5 min. no harm to the truck just saves you a giant headache and money.

I had mine done also. Only thing I did was redo their zip ties. To make it look nicer under the hood. I had also read that the trucks can catch fire easily without this fixt, so that was enuff for me to get mine done. I likes my truck a bit too much to watch her burn up cuz of my laziness.

I live so far from a dealership that it took years for me to get it done. Since our small town Ford shop closed its doors years ago I could not get it done and Ford would not send me the part. Had to take my daughter to a specialist in a town with a Ford dealership and called ahead of time to set up an appointment while she was at her appointment. Took them 2 minutes to put in the additional wiring harness and zip tie it in. Glad to have it done finally.

well i had mine done. ive been going years without cruise control.....and now i have it back. over the past year ive been having VSS issues so i thought that was causing myCC issues. in what ways did they help me other than preventing my truck to burn to the ground.
