Description (français)
Le jeu entre la tige de l'accélérateur et le trou par lequel elle passe n'est pas suffisant et peut entraîner le courbement de la tige par suite des mouvements d'articulation de la cabine. Si ce courbement se produit en pleine accélération, le conducteur perd le contrôle du moteur et un accident est alors possible.
