Description (français)

Il se peut que le câble de commande de l'accélérateur ait été endommagé (tordu) lors du montage. Un câble d'accélérateur tordu peut demander un effort plus grand sur la pédale, ou faire gripper ou briser le câble. Le grippage ou le bris du câble d'accélérateur peut entraîner des accélérations involontaires ou des pertes de contrôle subites de l'accélération qui, si le véhicule est en mouvement, peuvent causer un accident. CORRECTION: Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les ensembles de câble de commande de l'accélérateur.
