The problem
THE ECO-CRUISE ACTUATOR CAN BIND THE THROTTLE.
The risk
If the actuator binds, engine speed may not decrease to the level anticipated by the operator, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will remove these actuators until new or remanufactured units can be supplied.
