CHRYSLER CORPORATION recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Jul 22, 1985, covering about 866 vehicles.
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.

The fix
Install new accelerator cable clip.
