Ford recalls 1.2 million more trucks over fire risk

Ford announced the recall of 1.2 million trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans today amid concerns of potential engine fires. Last September, Ford recalled 3.8 million pickups over the same concern. Today's recall involves vehicles fueled by gasoline or natural gas and equipped with cruise control, including the 1994-2002 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 F-Super Duty trucks, 2000-2002 Excursion SUVs, 1994-1996 Econoline vans and 1996-2002 E-450 vans, and 1998 Explorers and Mountaineers. The fires have been attributed to faulty cruise control switches.
