Here is a part of the article:
I know these vehicles are popular and figured there might be some DTR members with these in their stable.

Here is a part of the article:
DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it was recalling about 792,000 pickup trucks and sport/utility vehicles because of a fire risk from overheating of the speed control switch.
The recall involves some of Ford (Research)'s biggest money-makers, 2000 model-year F-150 pickup trucks, Expedition and Navigator SUVs, and 2001 model-year F-Series Supercrew pickup trucks equipped with speed control.

Maybe, just MAYBE, if there weren't as many bean counters all over the place then there wouldn't be so many recalls. It's always some little thing that some pencil pusher decided to buy for a cent cheaper that causes problems. Hate that mentality.

I was at the dentist office a couple of years ago and when I got home the hood was up on my 95 f150 , the neihbor said it started to smoke under the hood about 3 hrs after I parked it. It cost me over 500 dollars to have fixed I dont remember what they replaced but it was near the brake cylinder im looking for the reciept

I just hope the only ones that lose their jobs are the ones that decided to save the one cent and use the cheaper switch. This stuff usually back fires though and people that don't deserve it lose their jobs. Even if it is a Ford, I hate to see this happen to anyone, not to mention the people that lost homes and belongings because of this issue.
Good luck to all.

Hope no one has to die because of this flaw
