I think so far it is just F-150's, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the SD's added later.

It's for the cruise control on the F-150's. Some trucks have randomly caught fire. I still haven't heard of a real solution from Ford about it. As I remember, you took your truck in for the recall and they disabled the cruise control.

That's a nice fix. Does it come with a guarantee?

That's just until they have parts to fix it. Then the dealer will install the new part and enable the cruise control.

It will probably be a wiring change to move the hot wire to a place that is hot only with the ignition on or engine running. Right now they are hot all the time and that is the rub.
