Recall 1988068

The issue

EXCESSIVE ACCELERATOR CABLE FRICTION MAY RESTRICT THE CABLE'S FREE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE WILL BE REPLACED IF REQUIRED.

Description (français)

Un frottement excessif peut nuire au mouvement du câble de l'accélérateur entre la pédale et le papillon. Le papillon risque alors de ne pouvoir revenir à la position de ralenti, une fois la pédale relâchée. Il en résulterait une perte de maîtrise de l'accélération, voire une collision.
