This report was on our local news here just the evening. Mentions nothing more than what you read.
The recall affects approximately 792,000 Ford F-150 pickups, Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators from the 2000 model year. Also affected are 2001 F-Series Supercrew trucks that were made at the same time.
Naturally though, the local media showed stock film...It displayed the New F-150 as well as the SuperDuty...Neither of which was mentioned in the verbage by the reporter. I am sure that it was intentional but, misleading never-the-less.
Now Ford dealer will start getting calls from new F-150 and SuperDuty owners scared to death their trucks are goimg to catch on fire, too. They will get enough calls as it is.
So much for acturate reporting...to bad.

Before I sold my 2001 F350 I replaced a sensor that was leaking brake fluid out of the master cylinder. My parts man told me it was a cruise control item. I think I spent 10-12.00 total. It was easy just like the cam position senser.

The disable will be at one time and then later will be the repair.

All manufactures go through this...sadly it is common
Today's article regarding this recall also stated that over 3 million vehicles were recalled last year. I would venture to guess that does not count Customer Satisfaction Programs by the various manufacturers.
