Hey you can send me crazy looking pics if you want to but i just had a guy pm me and tell me thanks as his wife drives a 99 Explorer that is on the list. And this recall is due to vehicles just bursting into flames because of a cruise control switch.

The pic was just for a little humor. Relax man.
BTW this has been a problem with these models for years now.
The vehicles don`t even need to be running for them to catch fire. Pretty scary especially if one is parked in someones garage.
