Vehicles With Cruise Control (RPO K34) on Certain Gasoline. & Diesel Engines

CONDITION
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 1984 through 1988 Oldsmobile model vehicles equipped with cruise control (RPO K34) on certain gasoline & diesel engines. A small nylon bushing in the cruise control servo bail (bracket) may slip out of place. This will not affect the operation of the cruise control, but it may cause intermittent increases in engine speed or dieseling (engine run-on with ignition off). If the vehicle is not serviced and the nylon bushing remains out of place, the servo, rod assembly could wear through the bail. If the rod wears through the bail, it may catch on other engine components and possibly result in a stuck throttle. Although the vehicle can still be stopped with the service brake, an unexpected loss of accelerator control could result in a vehicle crash.
