Ford has announced that it is recalling certain models of the 1995 through 2002 Mercury Mountaineer vehicles equipped with the Texas Instruments speed control deactivation switch (SCDS).  They stated that the SCDS may leak internally and then over heat, smoke, or burn.

A vehicle fire could occur.  Ford will notify owners and dealers will install a fused wiring harness for the SCDS.   Dealers will also inspect the ABS control connector and repair as necessary.  Repairs will be completed free of charge.  The safety recall is expected to begin on or about October 26, 2009.  Owners may contact Ford at 1-888-222-2751.
