The issue
Certain vehicles may not comply with CMVSS 124 - Accelerator Control Systems. Vehicles may have been assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat. The dash mat may bind the throttle cable such that the throttle return time may not meet the requirements of the standard. Correction: Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there is insufficient clearance, a portion of the dash mat will be cut out to provide clearance.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la N.S.V.A.C. 124 - Système de commande d’accélération. Il se peut que le câble d’accélération de ces véhicules entre en contact avec le tapis du tableau de bord et que ce dernier entrave suffisamment le mouvement de l’accélérateur pour que sa course de rappel ne satisfasse plus aux exigences de la norme. Correction: Les concessionnaires devront s’assurer que l’écart entre le câble d’accélération et le tapis du tableau de bord est suffisant, sinon ils devront couper une partie du tapis de façon à ce qu’il n’y ait plus d’interférence.
