The issue
On certain trucks, the throttle cable may fail in service due to vibrational fatigue between the cable end sleeve and hub. Such a failure could result in possible loss of vehicle control and a crash without prior warning. Correction: Throttle cable will be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions, le câble de commande du papillon pourrait faire défaut en service à cause de la fatigue due aux vibrations entre le manchon et le moyeu d'extrémité du câble, ce qui pourrait empêcher le papillon de revenir en position de ralenti. Il pourrait en résulter une éventuelle perte de maîtrise de l'accélération et une accident imprévisible.
