Vehicle Speed Control › Springs — Freightliner · reported 15 Oct 1991 · 420 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THE HOOK SIZE OF THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING IS TOO SMALL RESULTING IN A TIGHT FIT AROUND THE ANCHOR NUT, CAUSING THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING TO BREAK PREMATURELY.
The risk
IF THE THROTTLE SPRING BREAKS, THE ENGINE WILL RETURN TO IDLE SPEED, WHICH MAY CAUSE A HIGHWAY HAZARD AND RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
INSTALL THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS WITH LARGER HOOKS.
SYSTEM: THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY TRUCKS WITH CUMMINS B SERIES ENGINES.
