Ford Recalls 155000 2003 Trucks and SUVs

The latest recall involves 2003 model year versions of the F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty truck, the Ford Excursion SUV, and the Lincoln Blackwood pickup.

The issue is a faulty cruise control systems switch that was linked to engine fires in the past two years. Ford officials said on Monday that an internal check found the switch systems in some early 2003 trucks and SUVs to be faulty. The switch system could corrode over time, overheat and ignite.
