The short answer

NHTSA received GENERAL MOTORS CORP.’s report on Jun 8, 1982. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.

SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES CONTAIN INCORRECT ACCELERATOR CABLE BRACKETS.

THIS COULD ALLOW THE CRUISE CONTROL SERVO ROD TO BIND ON THE ACCELERATOR CABLE BRACKET.

  • NHTSA’s part: Vehicle speed control: cables.

What should you do?

DEALER WILL INSTALL THE CORRECT CABLE BRACKET WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER. VEHICLES WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALSO BE MODIFIED IN THE EVENT THAT CRUISE CONTROL IS LATER ADDED.

  • How to reach the firm: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HT 4100 ENGINES.SYSTEM: THROTTLE LINKAGES AND CONTROL; CRUISE CONTROL.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: THIS WOULD CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO REMAIN IN A PARTIALLYOPEN POSITION, EVEN AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. LOSS OF VEHICLECONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
