Ford adds 4.5M vehicles to defective switch recall

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Ford-a...14213.html?x=0

The latest voluntary action pushes Ford's total recall due to faulty switches to 14.3 million registered vehicles over 10 years, capping the company's largest cumulative recall in history involving a single problem.

hopefully everyone else will realize that as well, and not think this lack of quality continues onto new vehicles

And unlike other companies, this is a voluntary recall.

Yah, I just got my notice in the mail... for my 5 years gone due to jacking '95 Mark VIII. I'm waiting for the HoopTBird next... which is also not in my possession any longer.

This does sound a bit more dangerous than the Toyota floor mat recall...

an example of being "cheap" ending up being more expensive in the end - both financially and in terms of image. hope GM learns something from this.
