The issue
SEALENT USED FOR THE ALUMINUM GOVERNOR HOUSING COULD, WHEN THE ENGINE REACHES NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, PENETRATE THROUGH THE BUSHING AND GET BETWEEN THE THROTTLE SHAFT AND BUSHINGS. THE SHAFT COULD SEIZE ON THE BUSHINGS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STAY ON FULL THROTTLE AND RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: BUSHINGS IN THE GOVERNOR HOUSING WILL BE REPLACED.
Description (français)
Sous l'effet de la chaleur dégagée par le moteur, le composé d'étanchéité du boîtier en aluminium du régulateur peut s'infiltrer entre l'arbre de la commande des gaz et les douilles. L'arbre risque alors de gripper et de faire emballer le moteur, ce qui peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise du véhicule et un accident.
