Ford has issued their biggest recall ever by expanding a previous recall of vehicles over a cruise control defect. Ford expanded the recall by 4.5 million vehicles, raising the total number to 14 million.

The cruise control switch poses a fire hazard, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The affected vehicles include trucks, vans and commercial vehicle models from 1992 to 2003.

Warning signs for an overheated switch include malfunctioning cruise control and brakes, unusual activation of brake lights and difficulty switching the vehicle out of park.
