Ford recalls 14,737 pickups and crossovers

Ford is recalling very 15,000 vehicles, including some 2011 F-Series pickups, 2011 Lincoln MKXs & 2011 Ford Edges, to fix an electrical short in a body-control module that could cause a fire

Ford told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that modules built in the course of a six-day duration by a supplier could be defective. So far, no injuries, crashes or fires have been reported.

The body-control modules keep checks on all systems from oil pressure to coolant temperatures. In this recall, it was a shared module that affected all six models.
Ford will inform owners of the recalled vehicles before Jan. 10, according to a filing with NHTSA.
