VEHICLES WITH CRUISE CONTROL. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THERE COULD BE INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE METAL BUSHING AND THE SHAFT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL LINKAGE. ALSO, THE LINKAGE POINTS WERE NOT LUBRICATED DURING ASSEMBLY. WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHED ON, THE CONTOL LINKAGE COULD BIND CAUSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO STICK ON THE DEPRESSED POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH.
