Does anyone know where the thread is that listed ALL the vehicles that have this poorly designed cruise control switch. I seem to remember that my 2003 Expedition may or may not have the switch but I don't know how to determine if it does so I can complain to Ford that it needs to be covered in the recall also.
Thanks

Didn't they replace the entire switch when they did the recalls on the 2000 models? Looking at mine, that had the recall done, it appears I have a new switch.

What I'm wondering is if have the fuse in there that this new recall is doing might be safer.

I happened to have my Exp at the dealer yesterday for an unrelated problem and they fixed the brake fluid/cruise control recall (which is I hadn't heard about until today) and the switch recall (which I was aware of). They're both separate recalls issues.
The old recall was just a bad switch that could malfunction and catch fire from overheating (if I recall correctly).
The latest issue is where the brake fluid can drip on the cruise control mechanizm and cause a fire. I didn't look to see what they replaced.
