Ford is adamant there's no link between a runaway car stuck on cruise control on a Melbourne freeway, and the largest recall in the company's history.
Chase Weir had to slam on his brakes repeatedly and pull the handbrake to finally stop his 2002 Ford Explorer yesterday afternoon after driving 54km stuck on cruise control at 80km/h down the Eastern Freeway.
The 2002 Explorer is part of a Ford global recall on faulty cruise control devices used in millions of its vehicles.
But the company says there's no link between its recall and Mr Weir's ordeal.
A Ford spokeswoman says Mr Weird's vehicle could have already had the cruise control fixed in his vehicle because of the recall, but even if it didn't, it's irrelevant.
