 In early july my vehicle suffered an electrical fire in the engine compartment. this is a vehicle covered under the existing ford recall for the speed control wiring. the dealer , who had repaired the vehicle just 45 days earlier, stated that this fire was not associated with the recall. the dealer stated that this was a different type of wiring fire. i am concerned that the recall in place may not fully address the risk of fire, and that there may be more of a safety issue regarding the wiring harness than has been disclosed. *tr
