What Happened
Your limousine's cruise control system has a small plastic piece that could break and cause a problem with the throttle.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, it could cause your engine to rev up a bit when you're driving with the brake pedal pressed, which could increase the risk of an accident.
Free Fix
You should take your limousine to the dealership, where a new part will be installed for free, and they may also replace the cruise control cable if needed.

Original — Risk if Unfixed
THE FRACTURE COULD PREVENT FULL CLOSING OF THE THROTTLE AND CAUSE A SMALL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM IN DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED.
