2006–2007 Scion XA & 2006–2007 Scion XB recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain rostra precision controls' speed controls may have a faulty module. These controls were installed by gulf states toyota (gst) dealers or at their vehicle processing center on certain passenger vehicles. When the speed control "on/off" switch is pressed once to turn the unit off, the throttle does not return to idle. When the "on/off" switch is pressed a second time, the throttle will return to idle.
💥 The risk
A crash could be cause in the event that the cruise control does not allow the engine to return to idle on the first depression of the "on/off" switch.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and/or replace the speed control module. The recall began on march 7, 2007. Owners may contact gst at 1-800-444-1074.
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.)
