DEFECT #1 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
Posted on: 1985-03-11
Description
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.

Replace the metal bushings with the plastic version.
