Ford Recalls 225,000 Vehicles
I take it this will affect some of us ranger owners? I got mine fixed when I received the recall notice in the mail. According to the article it sounds like only a small portion of the people who had it fixed will have to re visit the dealership.

DEARBORN, Mich. -- Ford says it's recalling about 225,000 vehicles that were already repaired as part of an earlier recall to address concerns about a cruise control deactivation switch.
Dearborn-based Ford says the affected vehicles represent a small portion of the about 10 million vehicles that have been recalled since 1999 related to the cruise control switch problem.
Ford says the automaker plans to notify the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration next week about the latest recall.
Ford dealt with cruise control switch problem by installing new wiring harnesses in the recalled vehicles.
Now, the automaker says some of those wiring harnesses appear to be defective.

whats sad is when the recalled parts go through 6 recalls of their own only to find out the original part wasn't the defective part after all... which I think will ultimately end up happening after all. I also have to laugh, my '93 Bronco has the same recall, yet the deactivation switch and harness arent even near the master cylinder or reservoir.

Well I guess it's good that my local dealership didn't have any parts left. I got mine done in October, but they just disconnected my cruise. They just fed me some BS about Ford hoping to have some new stock in by the 4th quarter......but it's fine with me. At least now when my POS Ford burns my house down, I'll be covered by insurance....my @ss is covered.
Guess now those new parts won't be coming any time soon.......LMAO @ Ford. What a bunch of penny pinching @ss clowns!!!! And then we wonder why Ford is going down hill.....LOL
