Recall 1987017

The issue

VEHICLES WITH 2.0 LITRE ENGINES MAY HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH AN ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE WHICH CONTAINED WATER. SHOULD THE WATER FREEZE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, THE ACCELERATOR CABLE COULD BECOME RESTRICTED WHEN THE THROTTLE IS INITIALLY OPENED. THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules équipés du moteur de 2 litres, de l'eau peut s'être infiltrée dans la gaine du câble de l'accélérateur avant le montage. L'eau peut geler dans la gaine et empêcher la commande des gaz de revenir au ralenti, ce qui risque de provoquer un accident.
