Below is a list of RECALLS on Ford Trucks: I realize this is in the superduty Sub-thread, but there are sufficient super duty,as well as F150,F250,E150,E250 and Excursions, Explorer, Ranger, etc...I will try to keep this updated as I get the recall notices, but if you have any to add, feel free to do so. They are in no particular order yet, but I hope to soon create a database to organize them into a searchable yet readable form.

2003 owners: Urgent

Ford Motor Co. has recalled about 155,000 pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, including F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks.
Dearborn, Mich.-based Ford (NYSE: F) manufactures the Super Duty trucks at Louisville's Kentucky Truck Plant on Chamberlain Lane.

The other vehicles recalled are the F-150 pickup, Ford Excursion SUV and the Lincoln Blackwood pickup, according to a report by the Associated Press. All of the recalled vehicles are 2003 models.
The recall was ordered to repair a cruise control switch system that already has led to millions of recalls, the AP said. Ford has recalled 5.8 million vehicles during the past two years for the same problem -- engine fires linked to the cruise control systems in trucks, SUVs and vans.
About 45 percent of the vehicles previously recalled have been repaired, the AP said.
