Vehicle speed control:Cables

A wrong cruise control accelerator cable clip was installed in the assembly. This could allow the accelerator cable to disengage from the throttle control. Consequence of defect: The disengaged accelerator cable causes the throttle to remain partially open when cruise control is in use and results in loss of acceleration control and could cause an accident.

Remedy: Install new accelerator cable clip.

Concerns: Renault 18 (Model years 1985)
