NHTSA recall 99V346000
Vehicle Speed Control · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The speed control cable end fitting can allow water to enter the speed control servo assembly. If this occurs, corrosion in the servo assembly could develop and cause intermittent speed control operation or prevent the throttle from returning to idle.
Why it matters: A throttle that does not return to idle could result in unexpected acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the speed control cable (with a new cable that incorporates a glass-filled end cap) and inspect the assembly for internal corrosion. Servos with evidence of corrosion will also be replaced. Owners are advised not to use the speed control until the vehicles are repaired.
