| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. the vehicle was purchased with only 30 miles. the contact asked the dealer prior to purchasing the vehicle if there were any related recalls and was advised that there were none. the contact received recall notice 06c11 on april 7, 2007 stating that the instrument cluster calibration had not been repaired. the manager confirmed that they were aware of the recall notice five months prior to the purchase. however, was not advised to schedule an appointment for the repairs. also, the dealer stated that the module behind the dash was faulty. the contact stated that cruise control was near the related recall component and could catch on fire. on two prior occasions during an oil change the dealer indicated the incorrect mileage. this could potentially affect the vehicle's warranty, and indicate that the contact has exceeded the allotted mileage for the next oil change. the current and failure mileage were 10,500.*ak | |||
