Ford is recalling 1.2 million trucks, sport-utility vehicles and vans Thursday amid concerns about potential engine fires, the Associated Press reported.
Ford said the recall, one of the largest of its kind ever, was tied to the speed control deactivation switch system, which could corrode over time, overheat and ignite.
The recall involves vehicles fueled by gasoline or natural gas and equipped with speed 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 recall does not involve similar vehicles fueled by diesel.
Owners of the newly recalled vehicles will receive notices in the mail in a week and dealers will install a fused wiring harness. Customers can contact Ford at 1-888-222-2751.
