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.

Ford said the recall covers more than a dozen vehicle models built from 1992-2007.

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.
