What can happen

Safety consequence

ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, THE ACCELERATOR CABLE MAY HAVE AN OVERLY LONG PLASTIC SLEEVE AT ITS CARBURETOR END. THIS COULD ALLOW THE SLEEVE TO BECOME STUCK IN THE END-FITTING WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO STICK IN THE OPEN POSITION.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL AN ACCELERATOR CABLE OF THE PROPER LENGTH, AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.
