    Engine Fires Linked To 4.6M Recalled Fords, Gov't Warns Owners Of Already-Recalled Vehicles About Faulty Cruise Control Switch Systems - CBS News

    "(CBS/AP) The government on Thursday warned owners of about 4.6 million recalled Ford vehicles to bring their cars and trucks immediately to dealerships to disconnect cruise control switch systems that have been linked to engine fires
    ...
    Three deaths have been tied to the fires and Ford has struggled to produce enough parts to fix the problem.

    About 9.6 million Ford vehicles have been recalled since 1999 and about 5 million have been fixed, raising concerns about the remaining vehicles on the road. NHTSA said they have received about 60 complaints of engine fires in the Ford vehicles since August 2007. "

    It's not Fords fault that this happened. It's the supplier of the components.
