Recall 1989118

The issue

THE SCREW WHICH CONNECTS THE RACK TO THE GOVERNOR LINKAGE INSIDE THE BOSCH FUEL INJECTION PUMP MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT TORQUE ON THE RETAINING NUT. WITH INSUFFICIENT TORQUE, THE NUT MAY WORK LOOSE ALLOWING THE SCREW TO FALL OUT. IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR, THE GOVERNOR LINKAGE WOULD SEPARATE FROM THE RACK RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OVER ENGINE SPEED. THIS COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: FUEL PUMP RACK TO GOVERNOR LINKAGE SCREW WILL BE RETORQUED.

Description (français)

Il se peut que la vis raccordant la crémaillère à la tringlerie du régulateur de la pompe à injection Bosch ne soit pas suffisamment serrée contre l'écrou de retenue et celui-ci pourrait se desserrer et la vis pourrait se détacher. Dans un tel cas, la tringlerie du régulateur ne serait plus solidaire de la crémallère et occasionnerait une perte de contrôle de la vitesse du moteur. Il pourrait en résulter un accident imprévisible.
