Owners of more than a dozen models are waking up this week to a recall involving 3.6 million cars built between 1992 to 2004.
That huge number suffers from a faulty cruise-control switch that could lead to fires.
Six million vehicles had been recalled in 2005 for the same issue.
The company says “a few” Ford Crown Victorias actually caught fire. Unfortunately, the problem is even more disconcerting because it is a possibility at all times, not just when the cruise control is on.
