About 3.6 million vehicles will be recalled by Ford because of a cruise control button that has been associated with fires. The vehicles recalled include the Ford Bronco, Lincoln Town Car, Ford Explorer, Ford Ranger and Mercury Grand Marquis ranging from the years 1992 to 2004.

The reason for this recall is different from any other recall we’ve done in the past related to cruise control deactivation switches,” said Ford spokesman Dan Jarvis.

Ford had to recall 6 million vehicles in 2005 through 2006 because of a cruise control cut off issue. Ford’s recall will start August 13th and owners of the recalled vehicles will have the cruise control button deactivated as a fix for now until Ford receives replacement parts.
