THE SHAFT COULD SEIZE ON THE BUSHINGS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STAY ON FULL THROTTLE AND RESULT IN LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: THROTTLE SHAFT BUSHINGS IN THE GOVERNOR HOUSING WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Sous l'effet de la chaleur engendrée par le moteur, le composé d'étanchéité du logement de régulateur en aluminium peut s'infiltrer entre la tige de commande des gaz et les douilles, ce qui risque de faire gripper la tige dans la position plein gaz. Cette situation peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise du véhicule et un accident.
