The issue
LOSS OF THROTTLE CABLE OVER-TRAVEL SPRING RETENTION CAN RESULT IN SPRING DISLOCATION AND SUBSEQUENT INCREASED THROTTLE OPENING AND EXCESSIVE ENGINE SPEED AT THE IDLE POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: THROTTLE CABLE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REVISED VERSION THAT WILL PROVIDE POSITIVE OVER-TRAVEL SPRING RETENTION.
Description (français)
La fixation du ressort de limitation de course du câble d'accélérateur risque de céder et d'entraîner le détachement du ressort. Le papillon risque alors de s'ouvrir davantage, ce qui se traduirait par une augmentation excessive du régime du moteur au ralenti. Il pourrait en résulter une perte de maîtrise du véhicule et un accident.
