    Vehicle Speed Control / Linkages

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Metal bushings for the cruise control linkage are subject to corrosion due to weather conditions. Also, there is not enough clearance between the bushings and the shaft; and the linkage points were not lubricated. Thus, cruise control linkage can bind, causing the accelerator pedal to stick in a depressed position. Consequence of defect: the vehicle, without warning, would continue at set speed and can't be reduced. This could result in loss of control and an accident.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Replace the metal bushings with the plastic version.
