Recall 1983088

The issue

SOME OF THE VEHCILES AFFECTED BY THE RECALL MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH INCORRECT HOODS - THE INCORRECT HOODS WERE INTENDED FOR USE WITH CONVENTIONAL (NON-TURBO) ENGINES AND MAYNOT PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT CLEARNACE BETWEEN THE THROTTLE LINKAGE AND THE HOOD UNDERSIDES. AS A RESULT, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THE THROTTLE LINKAGE MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH THE HOOD POTENTIALLY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LINKAGE AND PREVENTING THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO ITS IDLE POSITION.

Description (français)

Certains de ces véhicules ont été, équipés de capots destinés aux modèles à moteurs classiques (sans turbo). Ces capots ne laissent pas un dégagement suffisant entre eux et les tringles de I'accélérateur. Il s'ensuit que, sous certaines conditions, les tringles peuvent heurter le capot, être endommagées et ne plus pouvoir alors revenir à la position de ralenti.
