Due to 14 reported accidents, Ford is recalling a staggering 1.2 Million vehicles to replace a bad engine sensor.  The affected vehicles include model years 1997-2003, and vehicle models Super Duty trucks, Excursion, and E-series vans, all equipped with the 7.3 liter Powerstroke diesel engine. 

Aparently some sort of sensor can degrade over time, which will cause the engine to shut off.  Not exactly a good thing when you’re hurtling down the highway at 70 MPH.  If you’re driving an affected vehicle, Ford will be sending a letter to you by the end of the month.
