AM GENERAL CORPORATION recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Feb 13, 1995, covering about 150 vehicles.
The problem
Water can accumulate in the cruise control cable and if the outside temperature is below freezing and the cruise control is engaged, the water can freeze causing the cable to bind and not release as intended when the brake pedal is applied or the system is turned off at the master cruise control switch.
The risk
The engine throttle can stick open resulting in loss of throttle control with the increased potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will remove the current cruise control actuator and cable assembly and install a new assembly. Additionally, dealers will change the routing of the cable.
