Ford Motor Co., announced Friday that it is recalling 3.8 million passenger cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans -- including 177,000 in Canada, Mexico and Europe -- to address concerns about a cruise control switch that had led to previous recalls based on reports of fires.

The company said it was responding to concerns from owners about the safety of their cars and questions about the speed control deactivation switch in the vehicles.
