Ford adds 792,000 to 2005 recall count
Didn't we just do a story about trying to keep recalls down this year? Ford breaks the seal with over three-quarters of a million trucks being recalled for overheating speed control switches that can cause fires underhood. The recall covers 2000 MY F-150 trucks, Expedition and Navigators and 2001 MY F-Series Supercrews equipped with speed control.

It's not all the '01 SD's...just early production units (those made in 2000).

I guess thats the cost of parts sharing.

yeah.. also for the domestic makers who squeeze their suppliers for cheaper parts so they can make a larger profit.. this will continue to happen.. it costs SOMETHING to make a good part..

Ya know, squeezing suppliers for every cent wouldn't be necessary if the UAW would just concede a bit and pay their fair share of the healthcare costs. Here's a bit of info for you...GM plans to spend over $5 billion on healthcare this year. How much is the UAW worker paying? ZERO! Ford is in the same boat but not as much.
Believe me, they aren't squeezing the suppliers to make a profit; they're doing it to TRY and stay competitive. Those flawless import mfgr's don't have to pay their employee's and retirees and retiree dependent's healthcare costs. It makes a difference.
