1.2 MILLION Recalled on Ford SUV & Trucks
Good thing that my dad's ford truck doesn't run on gasoline.
Yeah, i know there's like 1 thread on recalls everyweek on TR, and it turns into some stupid TR drama.

Ford recalling 1.2 million vehicles
Threat of engine fires noted in trucks, SUVs and vans
WASHINGTON - Ford recalled 1.2 million trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans on Thursday amid concerns of potential engine fires, expanding upon one of the largest vehicle recalls in history.
Ford Motor Co. said the recall was tied to the speed control deactivation switch system, which could corrode over time, overheat and catch fire.
The recall involves vehicles fueled by gasoline or natural gas and equipped with speed control, including the 1994-2002 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 F-Super Duty trucks, 2000-2002 Excursion SUVs, 1994-1996 Econoline vans and 1996-2002 E-450 vans, and 1998 Explorers and Mountaineers. The recall does not involve similar vehicles fueled by diesel.
Last September, Ford recalled 3.8 million pickups and SUVs from the 1994-2002 model years, including the top-selling F-150 pickup, because of the concerns over engine fires. It was the fifth-largest auto industry recall in U.S. history.
In January 2005, the company recalled nearly 800,000 pickups and SUVs from the 2000 model year because of similar issues.

This has been a known problem for a while, btw. Not a BIG problem, but a known problem. I know of a few stories where peopel's trucks spontaneously burnt down to the ground. Not going to go into the details and specifics because I'm lazy, but the problem is due to cheap materials.
