Recall 1997221

The issue

NOTE: ONLY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OPTION ARE INVOLVED. THE THROTTLE CABLES ON THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. THIS MAY LEAD TO FRAYING OR SEPARATION OF THE THROTTLE CABLE, WHICH COULD PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VEHICLE CONTROL. CORRECTION: THROTTLE CABLE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REVISED DESIGN VERSION.

Description (français)

Nota : Ne vise que les véhicules équipés de l’antipatinage. Le câble du papillon des gaz aurait été endommagé au cours du montage de ces véhicules. Il se peut donc qu’il s’effiloche ou se détache, ce qui empêcherait alors le moteur de revenir au ralenti. Un tel état de chose pourrait nuire à la conduite du véhicule. Correction : Le câble du papillon des gaz devra être remplacé par une pièce de conception nouvelle.
