I owned a 1999 Ford Expedition. That I just got an inccident on Monday, October 29,2012 while I was driving my vehicle start a smoke from the back and later on catched on fire. It's a total lost. now I'm waiting on my insurance company what they have to say. I would like to have more information about this recall.
