Ford has announced a voluntary safety recall on 3.6 million vehicles to correct an issue related to the cruise control deactivation switch. The automaker has recalled more than 10 million vehicles total related to this issue, setting the record for vehicle recalls, according to The Detroit News.

At no charge, Ford dealers will install a fused wiring harness into the speed control electrical circuit, or replace the deactivation switch. Reports of vehicle fires underline the need for this corrective measure.

Supplies for addressing the trucks are available now, though the parts for cars won't be available until October. Car owners are being asked to visit their local dealership to have the speed control system deactivated as a precautionary safety measure. All owners will be notified by mail.
