The problem

Thermal shock to the cruise control computer could result in engine racing if the engine is restarted with the main control switch in the 'on' position. This could cause loss of control and an accident if this is performed in normal traffic conditions.
The fix
REPLACE COMPUTER WITH ONE OF IMPROVED DESIGN.
