Recall 1989081

The issue

IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVATED AND A PRESET SPEED IS RESUMED BY OPERATING THE "RESUME" SWITCH, THE TENSION ON THE ACCELERATOR CABLE WILL DECREASE ALLOWING THE CABLE TO SAG. AS A RESULT, THE CABLE COULD BECOME ENTANGLED WITH A WATER PIPE BRACKET AND NOT RETURN TO ITS FULL IDLE POSITION. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: ACCELERATOR CABLE BRACKET WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REDESIGNED VERSION WHICH WILL REPOSITION THE ACCELERATOR CABLE.

Description (français)

Le fait de rétablir la vitesse préréglée à l'aide de la commande "Resume" du régulateur de vitesse provoque un fléchissement du câble de la commande des gaz. Celui-ci peut alors se prendre dans une conduite du circuit de refroidissement et empêcher la commande des gaz de retourner en position de ralenti au moment opportun. Dans cette circonstance, un accident est possible.
