Tribute LX 2WD V6-3.0L DOHC (2001)
Cruise Control Servo: Recalls
Recall 00V210002: Possible Stuck Throttle
Sport utility vehicles equipped with speed control. The speed control cable can have a cracked or missing speed control cable servo cap locating tab. The
locating tab could enter the servo clutch cavity and interfere with the speed control servo clutch. Also, water could enter those units that contain a
cracked or missing servo cap locating tab, eventually causing corrosion that could interfere with the function of the speed control.
If either of these conditions occurs and the speed control is used, the speed control could prevent the throttle from returning to idle, resulting in a stuck
throttle. A stuck throttle could result in a crash.
Dealers will inspect the speed control cables. Vehicles with speed control cables from cavities 3 and 4 will have the cable the speed control servo
replaced.
