Ford Recall

Post by Traveler II »

DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. is recalling more than 20,000 pickup trucks and SUVs because a defective switch can cause the turn signal, tail lights and brake lights to fail.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday on its website that the recall affects certain 2004 through 2011 Ranger pickups, 2002 through 2005 Excursion SUVs, and 2002 through 2007 F-250, 350, 450 and 550 trucks.

About 20,450 trucks in the U.S. are affected, plus Ford is recalling more than 6,000 of the switches that were sent to dealers as replacement parts.

Ford says it knows of no accidents or injuries caused by the problem.

The company will notify owners and dealers will replace the switches free of charge.

Great... how about the recall for "only when the wife is driving" the abs light comes on and the speedometer quits working. Evidently there are 3 possible failure points (sounds like the rear end Speed control) for this but..... if the husband is driving it doesn't HAPPEN! That is just WRONG! It has happened 4 times (only when I'm driving). Good news... the husband has witnessed it so ... no "rubber room" for me! This weekend we took it out for several trips and turned it off and on mulitple times.. problem never replicated. 1999 Ford F350 :?:
