Go here and put in your VIN:

Inspect the master cylinder for fluid leakage around the cruise disconnect switch.

Cruise recall
Tried for several years to get it fixed but the dealership never had the part. They just told me the part is on back order. Finally caught on fire. I was right there so I caught it before it caused server damage. The brake fluid ignited and dropped to the ground on fire. So I popped the hood and got it out. Took it to a shop because I didn’t know what was wrong. They told me that was the recall item. Took it to a dealership and ford denied the claim and refused to repair it.

Glad you were able to get the fire out.
Just Youtube it and show them.
In short: Find a different dealer.

Ford does not assume liability for vehicles damaged due to recalls that were not performed. The parts for the recall were in short supply for a little while, but that's been more than a decade ago.
This is an issue for insurance (if any)., not whining about it on internet forums.
