Affects Volvo 200 Series · 1985–1986 — about 6K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain Volvo 240, in the event of a low speed frontal impact, engine movement could cause the throttle cable sleeve to be pulled out of the adjusting fitting and not return to its original position. If this occured, an increase in engine speed would result, potentially making the vehicle more difficult to control in the post-collision environment. Correction: Throttle cables will be replaced.
