Recall 1997140

The issue

WHEN THE THROTTLE POSITION REMAINS UNCHANGED WHEN DRIVING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AT LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, MOISTURE MAY CONDENSE IN THE THROTTLE CHAMBER AND FREEZE. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE THROTTLE BEING KEPT OPEN AND THE ENGINE NOT RETURNING TO IDLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE BRAKING. CORRECTION: A MODIFIED THROTTLE CHAMBER GASKET, WHICH HAS A COUNTERMEASURE SLEEVE, AND A MODIFIED ECM, WHICH CONTROLS EGR OPERATION UNDER LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, WILL BE INSTALLED IF NECESSARY.

Description (français)

Quand le papillon des gaz reste à la même position pendant de longues périodes par temps froid, de l’eau de condensation peut s’accumuler dans la chambre de carburation et geler. Il se peut alors que le papillon reste coincé en position ouverte et que le régime du moteur ne revienne pas au ralenti quand on cesse d’appuyer sur l’accélérateur. Dans certains cas, ce défaut peut nuire au rendement du système de freinage.Correction : Le joint de la chambre de carburation devra être remplacé.
