1997 FORD AEROSTAR Recalls — Canada & USA

These two recalls describe the same underlying defect. Here is the summary: The 1997 Ford Aerostar has 2 recalls, both concerning an accelerator cable on vehicles with the 3.0-litre engine that can fray internally and cause the throttle to stick open after the driver releases the pedal. When the cable's core wires gradually break one strand at a time, friction builds up inside the cable housing and the throttle may be slow to return to idle or may not return at all, raising the risk of a crash.
