The issue
On certain Volvo 240, in the event of a low speed frontal impact, engine movement could cause the throttle cable sleeve to be pulled out of the adjusting fitting and not return to its original position. If this occured, an increase in engine speed would result, potentially making the vehicle more difficult to control in the post-collision environment. Correction: Throttle cables will be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certaines Volvo 240, en cas de collision frontale à faible vitesse, le mouvement du moteur peut faire sortir le manchon du câble de la commande des gaz du raccord de réglage; le manchon ne reprendra pas a position et le régime du moteur va alors augmenter, ce qui peut rendre le véhicule difficile à maîtriser après la collision.
