Description (français)
Le câble intérieur d'accélération, qui relie le boîtier de jonction du régulateur de vitesse au carburateur Hitachi ou à la pédale de l'accélérateur dans le cas des véhicules suralimentés, peut s'effilocher. Cela peut provoquer le maintien en position ouverte du papillon des gaz et entraîner la perte de maîtrise du véhicule.
