The problem

A wrong cruise control accelerator cable clip was installed in the assembly. This could allow the accelerator cable to disengage from the throttle control. Consequence of defect: the disengaged accelerator cable causes the throttle to remain partially open when cruise control is in use and results in loss of acceleration control and could cause an accident.

The fix

Install new accelerator cable clip.

Notes
