Ford recalls big vans; wiring issue could cause fires

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling over 73,000 full-sized vans in North  America to fix a wiring problem that could cause fires and other  electrical issues.

The recall announced Wednesday covers Ford Transit vans from 2015 through 2017 that have a trailer tow computer module.

Ford says water can enter the module and cause corrosion. That could  cause an electrical short and an increased fire risk. The company says  it knows of two fires in Canadian fleet vehicles that could be related.  It has no reports of injuries. Fires could happen when the ignition is  off so Ford is recommending they be parked outdoors until repairs are  made.
