The issue
On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal pivot bearing bushings may dislodge from the pedal bushing bearing pockets and cause the accelerator pedal to bind or stick. Even though these vehicles are equipped with "Smart Brake technology", where the engine controller is designed to reduce engine power when a disagreement between the throttle and the brake exists, the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death still exist. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les bagues de roulement de pivot d'accélérateur pourraient se déloger des poches de roulement de bague d'accélérateur et coincer l'accélérateur. Même si ces véhicules sont munis d'une technologie de freinage intelligent qui aura préséance sur l'accélérateur, les risques d'accident avec dommages matériels, blessés ou pertes de vies existent toujours. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et remplacer l'accélérateur si nécessaire.
