2000 Cadillac Deville recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: limousines. During normal engine roll, the plastic end fitting of the cruise control cable could contact the brake master cylinder and fracture. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 124, "accelerator control systems."
💥 The risk
The fracture could prevent full closing of the throttle and cause a small increase in engine RPM in drive with the brake applied.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a new cruise control bracket and, if necessary, will replace the cruise control cable.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
