The Ford Company sent out a recall for approximately 4.5 million vehicles Monday, according to a CNN.com report.  The recall covers vehicles with malfunctioning cruise control switches posing a potential fire danger.

Ford previously recalled over 11 million vehicles affected by the same problem.  To date, this marks the single largest recall from a major auto manufacturer.

Some Twitter users reacted to the news in light of the company’s recent struggles:
