Ford Still Seeking 8.4 Million Recalled Vehicles

If you bought one of the larger vehicles from Lebanon Ford Lincoln Mercury within the last ten years, then you might need to have your vehicle serviced as part of the largest recall in U.S. history to date.  Over the course of ten years, Ford has recalled over 14 million vehicles for leaky cruise control switches; that makes it almost twice the size of the famous Toyota recalls recently.  You can find several of these older Ford models at Warwick Car Dealerships, and approximately 8.4 million drivers have yet to bring their vehicles in for repair.  I’m pretty sure that most drivers of Enfield Honda vehicles pay attention to the publicized recall news. 

As the cruise control switch leaks its fluid, the fluid accumulates on the antilock brake system.  It can then catch fire, even if the vehicle is parked and unattended!  That is probably one of the most frightening things to think about.  What makes it even worse is that there are still 8.4 million drivers who haven’t had their Ford vehicle repaired.  The American auto brand has made it easy for owners to see if their vehicle has been repaired or not.  All you have to do is visit their recall website and enter your vehicle identification number (VIN). 

People who own a Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Windstar, or one of the E or F Series vans are urged to see if their car has been repaired.  The affected model years range from 1992 up until 2003, so it is better to err on the side of caution and visit the website.  Many people have bought these vehicles for very low prices and the last thing going through their minds is a potential recall.  But, as old as these cars are, chances are that they’ve had a few owners and you need to be safe rather than sorry.
