I just read about a Ford recall of 3 million + vehicles including F-53 chassis, some thing about the cruise control causing fires. Just Great. Waiting for my recall letter.

There was a similar recall about 2 years ago. Where did read about it?

Here's a link to an article that lists 1995-2002 F-53 chassis as being involved.

Information from the post by tomsm:
"Also covered are the Ford F53 motor homes.

Owners will begin receiving recall notices on Aug. 13. Jarvis said the parts for passenger cars would not be available until early October. In the meantime, owners can take their vehicle to a dealer to have their cruise control deactivated until the parts arrive. The parts are available for trucks, Jarvis said.

Dealers will install a fused wiring harness into the speed control electrical system or replace the deactivation switch if its found to be leaking.

Owners with questions about the recall can contact Ford at (888) 222-2751."

For what it is worth, our 1999 Ford chassis Suncruiser engine caught fire going down the Interstate. the fire was a total. No one could figure out the cause as the engine arrea burnt so bad. the insurance company had two experts look at it and they were not able to firmly say the cause. In 2000 there was a recall for the cruise and I had the dealer do the recall effort.

The recall is a featured topic under the Ford chassis forum so that all that have Ford chassis' can see it. That is probably where any further discussion on the recall should be conducted so that others may be involved.
thanks.

not every one with a Winnebago/Itasca Ford chassis go to the Ford Fourms. Lets keep this one here.

We saw the recall in our local newspaper and since we are second owners we went to the local Ford dealership to see if we were involved. Gave them our VIN # and sure enough we are. They said it takes about 45 minutes for the repair.
