According for Ford, you do NOT have to wait to
receive Ford's Recall Letter to get your switch replaced for FREE.
Ford Dealers are supposed to already have instructions to replace your ignition switch with an improved version. As soon as possible, call your local Ford Dealer and schedule your ignition switch replacement. DO NOT DELAY. DO THIS TODAY! |

Vehicles with this faulty switch CAN burst into
flames after sitting
idle for hours (ours did!). If the vehicle is parked in a garage
and a fire starts, you are likely to lose your home and you are endangering your life and the life of your family.
Although no deaths have yet been reported due to a Ford faulty switch related fire, it is highly likely this has occurred. At issue is that there are no significant reporting procedures of databases of fires in the United States. Fires resulting from this switch in the US are most likely listed as "unknown origin" and no cross-reference or research method exists to make any better determination. |

This is the best prevention you've got.
If there is no
electricity
feeding the switch, it cannot start a fire.
Yes, this is a pain and most people will not consider going to this extent to protect themselves. But, if you leave your battery connected while your vehicle is parked, you are running the risk of a fire starting even after it's been parked for hours. |
|
If a fire does start and you catch it within the
first few minutes,
you may be able to save your vehicle from serious damage by having
a fire extinguisher at the ready.
Remember that this starts as an electrical fire so you need to have the right type of extinguisher available. Also, if a fire does start, or you start smelling smoke in your car or truck, immediately unplug the battery. |
