Recall 86V046000

Fuel System, Gasoline › Fuel Injection System — International Harvester · reported 21 Mar 1986 · 10,002 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP THROTTLE SHAFT BUSHING MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH A HEAT SENSITIVE LIQUID POLYMER WHICH CAN SOLIDIFY ON THE BUSHING AT NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO STICK. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THROTTLE LEVER MAY STICK AND NOT RETURN TO LOW IDLE POSITION AFTER ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

The fix

REPLACE FUEL INJECTION PUMP GOVERNOR HOUSING WITH A NEW HOUSING CONTAINING NEW BUSHINGS FREE OF CONTAMINATION.

SYSTEM: FUEL INJECTOR PUMP. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS.
