Ford and GM recalls are being ignored.(SAFETY ALERTS)(Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp.)(Brief article)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is warning owners of 5 million unrepaired Fords, Lincolns, and Mercurys that the vehicles could pose a serious fire hazard.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
Those vehicles have a defective cruise-control switch that could cause a fire, even while the vehicle is turned off and parked.
Ford has issued multiple safety-defect recall notifications for the 12 million vehicles involved, but many owners have yet to respond. Some models affected: 1993-04 Ford F150; 1997-02 Ford Expedition; 1998-02 Lincoln Navigator; 1998-02 Ford Ranger; '92-98 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car; '93-98 Lincoln Mark VIII; and 1998-01 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer. For the full list, go to www.ford.com or call 888-222-2751.
