Recall 2005395

The issue

On certain AWD vehicles, the accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in the partially depressed position due to inadequate clearance between the pedal linkage and a plastic pad embedded into the vehicle's carpet. This condition may interfere with the accelerator pedal returning to the idle position. Unwanted acceleration could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the acceleration pedal assembly and modify the carpet.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules AWD, l'accélérateur pourrait se coincer temporairement en position partiellement enfoncée à cause d'un dégagement indéquat entre la tringlerie de la pédale et un rembourrage de plastique intégré dans le tapis du véhicule. Cela pourrait empêcher l'accélérateur de revenir en position de ralenti. Une accélération non désirée pourrait causer un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'accélérateur et modifier le tapis.
