Defect description

SOME OF THE INVOLVED VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 124, "ACCELERATOR CONTROL SYSTEMS".

THIS COULD CAUSE A SLIGHT BEND IN THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE, RESULTING IN A DELAY IN THE RETURN OF THE THROTTLE TO THE IDLE POSITION.

Manufacturer remedy

THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REINSTALL THE ACCELERATOR CROSS SHAFT SUPPORT BRACKET CORRECTLY, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
