- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 85V023000
- Manufacturer: PORSCHE CARS N.A. INC.
- Reported: 1985\-03\-01
- Component: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
- Units potentially affected: 5916

## What is wrong

METAL BUSHINGS FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE ARE         SUBJECT TO CORROSION DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS. ALSO, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH        CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BUSHINGS AND THE SHAFT; AND THE LINKAGE POINTS WERE NOT    LUBRICATED. THUS, CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE CAN BIND, CAUSING THE ACCELERATOR       PEDAL TO STICK IN A DEPRESSED POSITION.                                                                                                                           CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT WARNING, WOULD CONTINUE AT SET       SPEED AND CAN'T BE REDUCED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN          ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

REPLACE THE METAL BUSHINGS WITH THE PLASTIC VERSION.


## Notes

VEHICLE DESCIPTION: PASSENGER CARS EQUIPPED WITH CRUISE CONTROL.SYSTEM: CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE.
