The NHTSA announced on Friday that it is looking into about 310,000 Taurus and Sable models from the 2000-2003 model years because of a potential throttle issue. The federal agency has received 50 complaints from owners than the vehicles' throttle can jam open.
The NHTSA's probe is focusing on Taurus and Sable models equipped with Ford's 3.0L Duratec V6 engine. The NHTSA has determined that the speed control cable collar installed in the 3.0L motors can break, causing a stuck throttle.
No crashes or injuries have been linked to the flaw.
The NHTSA has not yet decided if it will elevate the investigation to full recall status.
