Over Four Million Cars Recalled By Ford Because of Defective Cruise Deactivation Switches
In the wake of multiple recalls over the past decade by Ford of cars with faulty cruise control deactivation switches, Ford, once again, has made the move to recall an additional 4.5 million vehicles over the exact same issue making the net recall more than 14 million.
The specific problem? A fire hazard. The belief is that if hydraulic fluid leaks from the switch, the car might overheat even when the ignition is off, which may start a fire. This has spurred a flurry of recent lawsuits related not only to property damage, but also to injuries and deaths.
One of the lawsuits involves an elderly woman who died when her home burned down after her car caught fire in her garage. Some of the vehicles included in the recall are the Ford Windstar as well a motorhome model.
