Recall 00V302000: C/C Cable/Throttle Body Interference

A speed control cable could have a core wire that is long enough to catch on the sleeve at the throttle body end of the cable during wide-open throttle acceleration.

A throttle that does not return to idle could result in reduced vehicle control and, potentially, a vehicle crash.

Dealers will inspect these vehicles and, if necessary, replace the speed control cable. Owner notification is expected to begin during October 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
