- Notes
- Possibility that the cruise control adjusting stud nut at the bell crank end ofthe cruise control cable was improperly torqued.low torque could cause nut to work off.if this happens, the adjusting stud could come out of its slot and hold the throttle partially open, making the vehicle difficult to control.(correct by installing special torqued nut and adjusting linkage as necessary.)

Has your Oldsmobile been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Oldsmobile dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
