Ford recalling 3.6 million passenger cars, trucks, sport-utility vehicles and vans

Ford is already struggling in the US market with their auto sales. The company has now announced a mega recall involving 3.6 million passenger cars, trucks, sport-utility vehicles and vans.

Ford announced that they would be fixing a cruise-control switch in these vehicles. Incidentally, the same problem led to previous recalls based on reports of fires.

The company added that the recall involves more than a dozen models built from 1992 to 2004.
