Hey everyone, well i FINALLY got the authorization to get my truck shipped out. but its on an extremely tight timeline as the authorization expires on the 9th of jan. anyways, just this week, my dad got a letter in the mail from ford..

My truck has a recall.. I guess that there could be an underhood fire at ANYTIME even if the key is not in the ignition.. ITs due to the speed control device malfunctioning..

anyone got any idea how long it will take for the ford dealership to fix this???

 

5 minutes, i took mine in the other day. youre in and out.

 

so you got the same recall? what exactly do they do? what exactly is the Problem??

 

cruise control module.they just pop a new one in. just go to your nearest ford dealership u shouldnt even need an appt.

 

NNIICEE i was worrying cause i am gunna need the company to come pick up my truck on friday at the latest so i know it gets to the VPC on time.. THanks bro

 

They basically just splice the wire and added a fuse...I think. They did it almost a year ago.

 

yeap no prob

 

You don;t even need an appt to take it in, just call ahead and make sure they have the part.

 

thanks for all the advice guys..im thinking about poss. getting them to check everything over while its there.. before it comes here you know.. although there are ford dealerships here in germany

 

Not a bad idea. I bet the dealerships charge an arm and a leg to work on an American truck over there.

 

dont know... its in euro's thats really the only thing that is expensive... there are certain dealerships that specialize in american motors..

 

You should post up some pictures of your truck since it's been lifted. Don't think I've seen any.

 

there is a thread with updated pics.. let me find the link..

tbere it is.. thats not with the body lift as you can see.. that will come after it gets here..

 

Sweeet!

 

My dad had mine (before I got a hold of it) taken in last year for this recall. Like everyone else said, he was in and out in 5 minutes. Tech just took out the old module and popped a new one in.

your truck looks great with the lift BTW. That thing is going to freak the Germans out. Oh,while you're over there, tell them I hate Cadillac Cateras.

 

Is my Mazda part of the recall as well?

 

I got that same piece of mail for my old ranger last week. My new truck doesnt have cruise control but ive learned to live without it
