The recent recall of Ford F-150’s due to a faulty switch in their engines did not come with a lot of attention.  However, for those whose job it is to deal with auto accidents after they occur, this recall is far from a surprise, according to an article published in the Tampa Bay newspaper recently. 

“Pasco County fire investigator Don Campbell started noticing the problem about two years ago. The engines inside Ford sport utility vehicles and F-150 pickup trucks would mysteriously catch fire and burn, nearly always when the vehicle was parked and hadn’t been driven in several hours.

Campbell instantly made a connection.

In January, 2005, Ford Motor Co. had begun a recall of nearly 6-million cars, trucks, SUVs and vans because of engine fires linked to faulty cruise-control switches.

Ford expanded that recall Friday, when the automaker said 3.6-million vehicles need to be checked to address the same cruise-control problem. The recall covers more than a dozen Ford models built from 1992 to 2004.”
