Recall 1993031

The issue

On certain trucks, the electronic accelerator pedal on these may experience premature failure of the pedal return springs. If both springs fail, the pedal will not return to the idle position when the pedal is released and an unintended full throttle condition could occur which in turn could result in a vehicle accident. Correction: Pedal will be modified or replaced as required.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions, les ressorts de rappel de la pédale d'accélérateur électronique 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.
