(I know fire is serious but who doesn't know how to turn off their cruise?)
#Nhtsa tsb by car for free#
Ford came up with some sort of fix and made it available for free to anyone who had one of the Explorers at the time of the recall. I got one for a Ford Explorer that indicated some Ford Explorer cruise control systems were subject to fire if the driver didn't disengage it properly.

There have been all kinds of recalls over the years, many less serious than these. As such, the manufacturer will have to make the repair at no charge to the car owner regardless of whether or not the car is still under a manufacturer's warranty. Both the problems mentioned above affect safety and are the subject of recalls. Recalls are mandated by the government when a problem is found with an automobile which is safety related. If nothing else, you can use this information next time you buy a used car. But when does the manufacturer have to fix something at no charge for the consumer? Follow along. Ignition switches that shut off randomly? Airbags that blast projectiles into the driver? We've seen it all by now. Other times, the problems are safety-related and not so easy to fix.

Automobile manufacturers often put cars on the road with defects which become apparent long after the cars are sold.
