Vehicle Speed Control › Springs — Chance · reported 29 Jan 1990 · 10 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY RETURN THE THROTTLE LEVER TO THE IDLE POSTION IN THE EVENT THAT THE LINKAGE BECOMES DISCONNECTED.
The risk
THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL IF THE THROTTLE LINKAGE FAILS IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
INSTALL AN IMPROVED THROTTLE RETURN KIT.
SYSTEM: THROTTLE RETURN SPRING.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: COACHES AND STREETCARS.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
