Yep, some bean counter said the cost of lawsuits was less than a recall.When it happened in my Ford it wasn't a high mileage vehicle yet. I Googled the issue and found out it was fairly common in the F150, but Ford refused to do a recall. Around the same time they were doing a recall for the cruise control solenoid catching fire. Guess what? That happened on the same truck. SOB's weighing repairs vs lives.
