1975 Volvo 240 recalls, newest first

December 14, 1977NHTSA 77V21900040,000 vehicles potentially affected

Vehicle speed control › Cables

Summary: The involved vehicles are in non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". The throttle cable plastic sleeve on these vehicles, which is attached to the firewall, could break at the groove for the retaining circlip allowing the buffer spring there to expand and cause an increase in engine speed. Also, the throttle cable could become frayed by chafing against incorrectly exposed reinforcing material from the cable sheath, at the engine end of the cable. The cable could then become stuck at any engine speed.
Remedy: Dealer will replace the accelerator cable and retaining bracket and install new return springs, if necessary, at no cost to owner.
