For scale, 2,114 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 10 months.
Defect
On vehicles equipped with an automatic cruise control system, the cable mounting bracket attachment has insufficient durability against bending stress. Continued use causes cracks to develop at the attachment point where the cable is secured to the cable bracket, eventually fracturing the bracket. Once the cruise control cable is no longer retained by the bracket, it may catch on the accelerator cable, pulling the cruise control cable inner wire taut. In the worst case, engine speed cannot be reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the cruise control cable with the corrected part.
