Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING, COMING JUST OFF THE HIGHWAY IN MY 2000 FORD EXPLORER AND THERE WERE PUFFS OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I RESEARCHED SOME OF THE RECALLS AT FORD AND THIS PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON SOME OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL, BUT NOT MY VIN #. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN. NO REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, I WILL BRING TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. *NM
