“A few days ago I was driving my vehicle and noticed a burning smell I checked all of the fuses first and there was no problem. Finally I drove the van again and notice smoke coming from the dome light at that point I removed the light itself and now I have problems with the lighting. I did look up recall defects for 93 vehicles which stated that the interior lighting was a defect. I called Ford and they seem to have no knowledge of recall. This recall is on your site as id # 94v128000 and the defect is 6088 interior lighting.”
