On certain vehicles, the speed control cable end fitting may allow water to enter the speed control servo assembly. If this occurs, corrosion in the servo assembly could develop and cause intermittent speed control operation or prevent the throttle from returning to idle. This could result in unexpected acceleration and, potentially, a vehicle crash. Correction: Speed control cable will be replaced, speed control servo will be inspected for internal corrosion. Servos with evidence of corrosion will also be replaced.
