The 1985 Renault 18 Sportswagon has 2 recalls, the most serious being a steering wheel shaft nut that can loosen and allow the steering wheel to detach entirely, leaving the driver with no steering control.
The second recall involves the cruise control system: a clip that connects the accelerator to the throttle can disengage while cruise control is active, leaving the throttle stuck in a partially open position and preventing the driver from fully releasing the accelerator.
