FORD MOTOR COMPANY recall for vehicle speed control, reported to NHTSA on Aug 2, 1995, covering about 29,000 vehicles.
The problem
The hand throttle cable can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes.
The risk
This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.
The fix
Dealers will install a revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel. Also letters will be sent to vehicle owners that have the same vehicles but do not have a ford installed hand throttle advising them that they may require service if they have had an after market hand throttle installed.
