On certain C220 vehicles, the cruise control linkage may not have been sufficiently lubricated and could bind, thereby not allowing the throttle to return to its fully closed position. A stuck throttle could result in loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Cruise control linkage will be replaced with a sealed and lubricated-for-life linkage.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1994086.
