The issue
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH WILLIAMS ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR PEDALS MAY EXPERIENCE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE PEDAL RETURN SPRINGS DUE TO IMPROPER HEAT TREATMENT. IF BOTH SPRINGS SHOULD FAIL, THE PEDAL WILL NOT RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION AND AND AN UNINTENDED FULL THROTTLE CONDITION MAY OCCUR, WHICH IN TURN COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: A MODIFICATION KIT WHICH INCLUDES PROPERLY HEAT TREATED SPRINGS WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
Les ressorts de rappel de la pédale d'accélérateur électronique Williams de ces véhicules peuvent se briser prématurément. Si les deux ressorts brisent, le papillon des gaz ne retournera pas à la position de ralenti lorsque la pédale sera relâchée et l'accélération pourrait être en position pleins gaz, ce qui risque de causer un accident.
