Recall 94V-021: 1994 Buick Century
GENERAL MOTORS CORP. recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Jan 8, 1994, covering about 10,646 vehicles.
The problem
During assembly, water may have entered the accelerator control cable conduit causing it to develop a high effort and/or binding condition in very cold weather.
The risk
High effort or binding conditions cause loss of normalthrottle control or the throttle may not return to idle when the accelerator pedal is released. If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, a vehicle crash could occur.
The fix
The dealer will purge the throttle cable of any internally trapped water, if it is present.
