Still better quality vehicle than anything Chinese. Like you'd ever read of a Chinese manufacturer recalling a defective product, especially for pro-active reasons. B)

Texas Instruments made the switch and Ford takes the blame.

I suspect TI had the part made in China. Edited October 14, 2009 by dnoblett (see edit history)
