The issue
On certain B600, B700, B800, F600, F700 and F800 vehicles, an incorrect end clamp on the hand throttle actuating cable may interfere with the outboard accelerator return spring. If such intereference occurs the throttle may not return to the idle position upon release of the accelerator pedal and thereby adversely affect vehicle control.
Description (français)
Sur certains B600, B700, B800, F600, F700 et F800, un mauvais collier de blocage du câble de commande manuelle des gas peut gêner le mouvement du ressort de rappel extérieur de l'accélérateur. Dans ce cas, le papillon pourrait ne pas retourner, dans la position du ralenti au moment du relâchement de la pédale de l'accélérateur, ce qui nuirait à la maîtrise du véhicule.
