His Cruise Control shorted out and the vapor's from the transmission oil caused the EXPLOSION - that's the story the Fire Department said and was confirmed by Ford and Investigators. His truck had been parked outside in the driveway over 6 hours prior to the incident.

In the article, they mention that 63 vehicles burned up out of the 792,000 trucks with the same cruise module, that figures out to .00795% or eight tenths of a percent.
You have a better chance of your vehicle catching fire at the gas pump than your truck starting on fire from this module.
