Vehicle speed control

What is wrong: The hand throttle cable can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes.
Risk: This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.
Remedy: 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.
