AM General Corporation Model(s): AM General Hummer
Vehicle Description: Multi-purpose vehicles equipped with diesel engines and cruise control. Description of Defect: Water can accumulate in the cruise control cable and if the outside temperature is below freezing and the cruise control is engaged, the water can freeze causing the cable to bind and not release as intended when the brake pedal is applied or the system is turned off at the master cruise control switch. Consequence of Defect: The engine throttle can stick open resulting in loss of throttle control with the increased potential for a vehicle accident. Corrective Action: Dealers will remove the current cruise control actuator and cable assembly and install a new assembly. Additionally, dealers will change the routing of the cable. Note: 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 AM General at 1-800-638-8303. |
