cruise update?

How would I find out if my cruise control has been fixed through the recall? I went to myfordvehicles.com and entered my vin and it says no recalls for this vehicle. How do I know that this has been done, since I bought the vehicle less than a month ago?
Thanks again

The only way to clear a recall is by a dealership when the work is done to the vehicle. A faster way is to look at the switch on the front of the master cylinder, if it has a fuse tied into the line going to the switch you are fine, also if it has a pigtail that looks newer than the line itself. If you purchased this vehicle from a Ford dealership after the recall came out they would have fixed it before they sold it to you. All a carfax will tell you is when the truck was in a shop last and it was in the shop when the dealership accquired the truck to do an inspection on it.

The parts are trickling into the dealers now.
I've done about 6 of them so far.

Its not on a wire, it plugs into the switch and the harness plugs into it. I took my truck in to get the fuse and being that I already changed the switch it couldnt be installed, although I think that the dealer is full of it.
