Switch still bedevils Ford; 3.6M more vehicles recalled

Ford will recall 3.6 million passenger cars, pickups, sport-utility vehicles and vans to address concerns about a cruise control switch that has led to previous recalls based on reports of fires, according to USA Today.

Ford said the recall covered more than a dozen vehicle models built from 1992-2007. The company said it was responding to concerns from owners about the safety of their cars and questions about the speed control deactivation switch in the vehicles that is powered at all times.

The automaker previously had recalled nearly 6 million vehicles beginning in January 2005 because of engine fires linked to the cruise control systems in pickups, SUVs and vans.
