I just have to say THANK YOU for all the posts about the speed cutoff switch recall.
I saw them last night while trying to figure out why my 2001 X cruise light would never come on nor did the cruise control work. I saw the saturated mess all over the wiring harnesses under the master cylinder and couldn't figure out exactly how it got there. I called my local dealer and they had me come in ASAP and about an hour later my cruise control worked (with light) and no more worries about the fire issue.

I don't know how I missed this recall in general... Thinking I'll be stopping by the dealership on the way home from class today and verify it's been done on mine since I bought it used. I'm assuming they can run the VIN to verify or something.

Thanks for this post! I called my local ford dealer and my suggestion is give them your VIN # and they can tell you any recalls or service done on YOUR particular vehicle.Mine was not in the recall and had no history of recall service.

Dammit I didn't even think of that... Time to start scouring junkyards. Which will be pointless since this is Texas and diesels are F'ing EVERYWHERE

The way I found out that I needed to do the recall fix was by going to the Ford web site and clicking on the safety recall link under ownership on the bottom of the page. My wife called the next day to the local dealership and they said to get it in by 11. There was no charge and they changed the sensor that goes into the master cylinder and added a short wiring harness the has a fusable link in it. The original system had no fuse to pop to cut power if (more like when) the switch shorted from the brake fluid leaking all over it.
