Recall 2002020

The issue

Certain heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by Williams's controls industries. The weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate. If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace these pedals.

Description (français)

Vise certains poids lourds de classe 8 équipés du dispositif de commande électronique des gaz (pédale et commande d'accélérateur) fabriqué par Williams Controls Industries, Inc. La soudure qui fixe la fourche à la plaque n'a pas la pénétration prévue et il se peut que la fourche se détache de la plaque quand le véhicule est en marche et que le moteur revienne au ralenti, ce qui augmente les risques d'accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer ces pédales d'accélérateur.
