Ford recalls trucks and SUVs
Ford Motor Co. is recalling 1.2 million vehicles, mostly pickups built at the Kentucky Truck Plant because cruise control switches on gasoline-burning models could pose a fire hazard.
The announcement is an expansion of last year’s 3.8 million-vehicle recall of pickups and sport utility vehicles.
The recall announced Thursday covers gasoline powered F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks built in Louisville for the 1994-2002 model years. It also includes 2000-2004 Excursion SUVs, also built in Louisville, and 1998 model year Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer SUVs. The recall also covers 1996-2002 commercial vans. Check with your dealer if you believe your vehicle is part of the recall.
