I stumbled upon this while looking for something else.

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...callsearch.cfm

The cruise control option is going to be recalled it looks like, unless I'm reading it wrong. Wouldn't load the exact link when I checked it so you'll have to do the "drill down" search quick, there isn't a Scion make, so go with Toyota, that's where the xA is.

 

thats for the early model cruise control... the later models have been corrected...

 

It's for the 2007 too. Unless you're talking about something else. Put in the differen't years and it all comes up with the same thing. Either way, if any one has it, they'll want to know.

 

Whats the recall about for those of us with dial up?

 

It says the same basic thing for the 2005 to 2007.
