Um... actually, that was me taking the pictures. Those pictures were not given to anyone or seen in any court. I happened across the truck at a storage place one day and took the pictures. This occurred after the recall had been issued, and the owner hadn’t made it in to have the recall service performed.

The cruise control/brake master cylinder fire is a KNOWN and REPRODUCIBLE defect in Fords with that type master cylinder.

I think what my service rep was complaining about was that they were recalling all cruise controls regardless of whether the model was involved in any fires.

I'm glad those pics weren't involved in a court case, but let's just say I've seen an awful lot of them that were, and they weren't always "truthful and accurate representations of the matter observed by the witness".
