Ford Recalls 155,000 2003 Trucks and SUVs
Ford is recalling 2003-model-year F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks; Excursion SUVs; and Lincoln Blackwood pickups due to faulty cruise-control switches that could ignite. The recall follows a series of similar recalls in more than 5.8 million trucks and SUVs from the 1994 - 2002 model years and was discovered during internal testing. While there have been 65 reported cases of fires involving the older vehicles, Ford says there have been no incidents in the 2003 models. Notices will be mailed to owners during the next few weeks. Repairs will be made at no cost. Concerned owners can call Ford at 1-800-392-3673 for more information.

HOLY HELL!!! Can Ford do nothing right?!?!
At least they're learning to recall the vehicles BEFORE people get burned up and die...
But for crying out loud!
They need to keep going, they are still missing a couple years. My 2005 Ford F150 caught fire in the middle of the night and burned my house down. My family was lucky to get out in time.
Come-on guys my bro's a mechanic and he hates everything but ford because fords are so simple to work on I’m 15 and I helped him fix a ZX2 turbo (home made) and its so simple, if you make some-odd million truck there's goanna be some issues, give ford a break!
I have no problem with 'some issues.' But a potentially fatal 'issue' (it has killed people) spanning trucks made over more than 10 years is not an 'issue' it's downright negligence and murder. Remember the Pinto? Was that an 'issue'?
Pinto? Time to move on. They have been gone for years.
6.0 desiel Whats up with the injectors. I replace these like oil filters. at $300 a pop plus labor 6 hrs. they should recall these and put good after market ones in.
