What is wrong
The factory installed cruise control linkage may not have been adequately lubricated, which can cause binding and the throttle will not return to the closed position when the accelerator pedal is released.
The risk
The throttle sticking results in a loss of speed control and could result in a vehicle accident.
The fix
Replace the cruise control linkage.
