Recall 2004391

The issue

On certain vehicles, in hot ambient conditions, the accelerator pedal arm may stick at the attachment to the bracket and not return to the engine idle position when the operator removes the actuating force from the accelerator pedal. If the accelerator pedal does not return to the engine idle position, the throttle valve will not close, which may result in an increased stopping distance. Correction: Dealers will inspect the accelerator pedal arm and, if necessary, replace the accelerator and brake pedal assembly.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, lorsqu'il fait chaud, le bras de l'accélérateur pourrait ne pas revenir en position de ralenti lorsque le conducteur retire son pied de la pédale. Si l'accélérateur ne retourne pas en position de ralenti, le papillon des gaz ne se fermera pas, ce qui pourrait augmenter la distance de freinage. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le bras de l'accélérateur et, s'il y a lieu, remplacer l'accélérateur et la pédale de freinage.
