What is wrong
THE BEAD CHAIN, WHICH CONNECTS THE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE TO THE THROTTLE ARM OF THE CARBURETOR, WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT A COVER. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, SUCH AS WHEN TRAVELING ON AN INCLINE, THE CHAIN COULD WRAP AROUND THE THROTTLE ARM AND HOLD THE THROTTLE HALF OPEN.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSTALL A PLASTIC COVER OVER THE BEAD CHAIN. ALSO, A RESTRAINING STRAP WILL BE INSTALLED TO ENSURE A PROPER CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ELECTRICAL PLUG-IN CONNECTION AND CRUISE CONTROL BOX.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
