I caught the tail end of a news story today on a recall of Fords with cruise control. I'm sure it is related to the small recall we've discussed here but I think they were saying that it is the second largest recall in Ford history.
Apparently they are to mail out notices to the owners with the recall and places to have the cruise control fixed. Anyone have a link to the actual recall?

Is this the one they did over a year ago?
Maybe check here, or on the Ford owners site. If your vehicle was involved, you should have gotten a letter, mine was repaired in March.

This is a new recall involving something like 17 million vehicles. It was on the news today and I have a feeling that it could be a similar recall that has been expanded to cover more vehicles. I'll try to pay attention if it is on the news again tonight. Not much on aside from Katrina and N.O. these days. A safety recall on trucks almost seems like an upbeat story in comparison.

I went to the link below from the site that Fernando posted. It asks for your VIN number and lists all recalls for your vehicle. It showed that my truck was indeed on the recall list for the CC switch.

There is a video if you go through the site I posted earlier.

Video worked for me -
My gripe is that in that video, it show the guy fixing it. IT LITERALLY TAKES 15 SECONDS!! Hell, even a union couldn't milk if for more than 2 minutes without feeling guilty. Unplug a connector, put supplied adapter into connector and reconnect. Why can't they just provide the freakin' adapter? (I know, I know) But still - to make a appointment and drop off the truck for a day for that is ludicrous! I particularly loved the part where he said "due to the high number of vehicles, you may find that they may be in short supply of the adapter, so the service tech will disconnect the cruise and you will nee to make an additional appointment when supplies are available to reconnect...." (or something to that effect) Loose the truck for two days, none the less farting around with rides to work to do what I saw him do? erg...
They probably shouldn't have put that part in the video for me to see....

Do you have a direct link for the video?
Thanks
My 2001 F-150 is on the recall, but my 2002 Ranger isn't. Wonder why... when they have the same part? Think they'll add the Rangers when they have enough parts? lol
