Speed control switch recall to affect more of us

[Lightning LA]

I bought mine new in Enfield, CT. The only issues I've had were a blown plug and I replaced the stock fog lights. Oh yeah, and I had some paint blow off 2 weeks after I got it.

You blew a plug, what mods did you have and how many miles at the time? Was it covered under warr', or did you have to fix it, and how did you fix it? I alway's worry about shooting a plug, i guess the best thing to do is keep a eye on them. I haven't had any paint issues yet on mine, actually i thought mine looks pretty good. I'm at 24,000 miles right now, and i guess i'll be parking it next month for the winter.

I was at 29K with a 6lber. The dealer warrantied it.

Guess i´m shit out of luck again !

No one in Sweden will do the recall since its not sold by Ford here.

Andre e-mailed me the link to check for this recall and mine needs it too,
until us euro guys find out how we can get our recall done ,is there a way to disconnect the unit so there is no risk of having a fire ?

Yes that's it. It's too bad Ford can't just send you what you need to fix it so you can perform the fix yourself. I wonder if anyone on here from a Ford dealer could hook you up with what you need and if they could send in paperwork saying the recall was performed? :shrug:

Thanks Chris
if anyone would be able to hook up us euro blokes that would be really cool
but if not I can live without the cruise control for now until we can come up with another soloution ,at least with mine now disconnected I dont have to worry about it going up in flames

can't do that most likely, but I do not see why someone could not ship the kit so they can install it themselves. its just a new style switch and a jumper wire. on other models. it's just a fused jumper harness which is not available yet.
