Ford is having its largest vehicle recall ever. With the safety of its consumers at risk, Ford will be recalling 4.5 million vehicles with a possible fire hazard from a faulty switch. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued its eighth recall that involves 16 million Ford Motor vehicles because of a faulty cruise control deactivation (by Texas Instruments) which could lead to fires even if the vehicle is turned off!
“We determined with the government that there is a low risk of fires for those vehicles,” Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said. “The other 3.4 million vehicles are the remaining vehicles that have the Texas Instrument switch, so we’re recalling them to reassure customers and prevent future recalls.” Sherwood said that Ford vehicles did not use the Texas Instrument switch in post-2003 models.
The recall is expected to begin less than 2 weeks from now around October 26. For Ford owners, you may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673 or NTHSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit http://www.safercar.gov.
