Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A LIGHT APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES WILL NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE SYSTEM WILL HAVE TO BE SHUT OFF BY THE DASH SWITCH. THIS COULD LEAD TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
AN INCORRECT SWITCH WAS INSTALLED IN THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM ON CERTAIN MODEL T300 TRUCKS.
