Scant information as usual. It would be nice to know if it is all cruise types including the ACC version, which appears to have differences in basic cruise also. It would also be great to know how having the cruise accelerate can create an electrical short circuit. [emoji848]
It's a good reminder that you can always push the trans into neutral if any system starts taking you on a hay ride to hell.
Cheers, Steve

I don’t think it’s the cruise that causes the short, I think they said the issue is when a short occurs in a different circuit simultaneous to the cruise accelerating. It apparently took 4.8 million vehicles to travel a collective 200 billion miles before the issue was identified, so it seems pretty low risk!

Yeah I saw that in later/cross-posted discussion. Not going to be losing any sleep over this one... in fact it's quite reassuring how much drilling down has been gone into an isolated incident.
Now about them alternators... [emoji849]

In an "extremely rare" situation, cruise control might be stuck on.
