What this recall covers

The defect

SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES CONTAIN INCORRECT ACCELERATOR CABLE BRACKETS. THIS COULD ALLOW THE CRUISE CONTROL SERVO ROD TO BIND ON THE ACCELERATOR CABLE BRACKET.

The remedy

DEALER WILL INSTALL THE CORRECT CABLE BRACKET WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER. VEHICLES WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO BE MODIFIED IN THE EVENT THAT CRUISE CONTROL IS LATER ADDED.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HT 4100 ENGINES.SYSTEM: THROTTLE LINKAGES AND CONTROL; CRUISE CONTROL.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: THIS WOULD CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO REMAIN IN A PARTIALLYOPEN POSITION, EVEN AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. LOSS OF VEHICLECONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
