Actually....never heard of it (a recall).

The DIS modules are VERY dependable, and most cases of failure have been due
to Operator Error, from what I recall.

Supposedly somewhere, some how, and for some reason
there was a lawsuit against Ford to put out a recall
on these DIS modules. That was 2-3 yrs ago when I
replaced mine. Local stealer said to keep in touch
with them and hopefully I could get some money back.
Yeah, right...
