2000 Ford Expedition & 2000 Ford F-150 + 2 more recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks, the speed control deactivation switch may overheat, smoke, or burn.
💥 The risk
This condition could lead to a fire. Fires have occurred while the vehicles were parked with the ignition 'off.'
🔧 The fix
As an interim repair, owners will be instructed to return their vehicles to their dealers to have the speed control deactivation switch disconnected. As soon as replacement parts are available (early april 2005), owners will be instructed to return to the dealers for installation of a new switch free of charge. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. (note: also see recalls 05V388 and 06V286)
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
