Engine

A small nylon bushing in the cruise control servo bail (bracket) may slip out of place resulting in possible intermittent increases in engine speed or dieseling. This condition could also cause the servo rod assembly to wear through the ball and catch on other components possibly resulting in a stuck throttle. This could result in loss of vehicle control and a possible crash. Correction: A bushing kit will be installed on the cruise control servo bail.
