DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday that it will add 4.5 million older-model vehicles to the long list of those recalled because a defective cruise-control switch could cause a fire.
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.
The recall covers 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans that had a small risk of fire due to internal leaking from the switches. The remaining 3.4 million vehicles are Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models.
