Recall 1987045

The issue

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 6.6L AND 7.8L ENGINES. DIESEL ENGINE GOVERNOR ASSEMBLIES MAY HAVE LEVER RETAINING RINGS INSTALLED IN A REVERSED POSITION. AS A RESULT, ONE OR MORE OF THREE RETAINING PRONGS MAY NOT BE ENGAGED IN THE GOVERNOR LEVER PIVOT SHAFTS.AN UNENGAGED RETAINING RING COULD POTENTIALLY DETACH, CAUSING SEPARATION OF THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE AND RETURN SPRINGS. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO RETURN TO IDLE FROM AN OPEN POSITION WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: REPLACE GOVERNOR LEVER ASSEMBLY.

Description (français)

Véhicules équipés du moteur de 6,6 L ou de 7,7 L. Les anneaux de retenue du levier du régulateur centrifuge peuvent être montés à l'envers et il se peut que des griffres de retenue ne soient pas accrochées aux axes d'articulation du levier. Un anneau de retenue libre peut se détacher et entraîner la séparation de la tringlerie de l'accélérateur et des ressorts de rappel. Dans ce cas, le régime du moteur prendra beaucoup plus de temps à revenir au ralenti, ce qui peut rendre le véhicule difficile à maîtriser.
