Supposedly...........

The expanded recall now includes the 1995 to 2003 Ford Windstar; the 2000 to 2003 Ford Excursion diesel; the 1993 to1997 and 1999 to 2003 Ford F-Super Duty diesel; the 1992 to 2003 Ford Econoline; the 1995 to 2002 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer; the 1995 to1997 and 2001 to 2003 Ford Ranger; and 1994 Ford F53 Motorhome vehicles equipped with the Texas Instruments speed control deactivation.

Does it include the V-8 and Wee-10?

The original recall already included the 5.4 and the 6.8 when it came out a couple years ago.

This recall also includes:

An inspection of the ABS control connector.

I do not recall this being on the first recall.

I don't care which Ford you have go to the dealer and get the wiring harness for the cruise disconnect switch that has two fuses in it. Buy it if you have to. It only takes a couple of minutes. This has been a total cluster%#@& of a recall that has been going on for years. At first my van was not under recall. Then it was. But the harness they installed was assembled wrong it having the fuse on the ground side not the power supply side. They replaced the improperly wired harness with a harness with the fuse on the supply side. Then they decided to change that to a harness with fuses on both supply and ground. The thing is I replaced the suspect switch when I first heard about the danger of the fires even though my van was not supposed to be in danger.

Ohh, good God, yes! I had a 1999 F150 4X4 that was under recall. They never seemed to ever get the parts in to complete the job though. "Hello, your truck has been recalled, we will let you know when the parts to complete the recall are available!" They never let me know Jack Squat! The truck had 6,000 miles on it when I sold it in the fall of 2006, and I don't think the recall has ever been completed to this day!

I had ZERO hassle getting mine repaired. The first day I heard about the recall I took it in and had it back the next day first thing in the morning. This was before I received the letter too.

Is this recall going to fix my blown cruise/horn fuse. I've been without cruise and a horn for over a year. Replace the fuse and it blows the first time you hit the brakes.
