Vehicle-Specific Recall Note
NHTSA campaign 97V131000 involves the vehicle speed control on certain models. The cruise control and throttle cables are attached to the same throttle valve actuating lever at the throttle housing. If the plastic bushing on either cable breaks due to environmental influences and vibration, the outer cable housing can separate from the bushing. This may cause the throttle valve to remain partially open during throttle pedal application, potentially preventing the vehicle from decelerating as expected and increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers can install a spring steel clip on the outer tube of each cable to prevent the tube from dislodging. A VIN-level recall check is required to determine whether a specific vehicle is affected or still has an unrepaired recall.
