NHTSA Campaign Id 85V023000; Date: Mar. 1, 1985

Recalled Vehicles:

1984 Porsche 944;  1985 Porsche 944

Component: Vehicle Speed Control:linkages

Manufactured by: Porsche Cars N. A. Inc.

Affected Units:: 5,916

Recall Summary:

Metal bushings for the cruise control linkage are subject to corrosion due to weather conditions. Also, there is not enough clearance between the bushings and the shaft; and the linkage points were not lubricated. Thus, cruise control linkage can bind, causing the accelerator pedal to stick in a depressed position. Consequence of defect: the vehicle, without warning, would continue at set speed and can't be reduced. This could result in loss of control and an accident.

How to Fix:

Replace the metal bushings with the plastic version.

Recall Notes:

Vehicle desciption: passenger cars equipped with cruise control. System: cruise control linkage.
