Vehicle speed control
- What is wrong
- Corrosion around the zinc-coated throttle control lever bushing can cause the throttle lever to bind.
- Risk
- This binding can result in the throttle plate not returning to the closed position when the throttle pedal is released and a subsequent loss of throttle control.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the zinc-coated throttle control lever bushing with a nickel-coated bushing and bolt.
