Ford Motor Company has recalled 4.5 million vehicles equipped with the Texas Instruments

smoke or burn, which could cause a vehicle fire. 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 completed will be free of charge. The recall is
expected to officially begin on or around October 26. Affected
