The defect
On certain buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.
The risk
If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Chance coach recommends that owners inspect their vehicles and install the part kit provided by chance coach. owners who do not receive the free parts and instructions within a reasonable time should contact chance coach at 1-888-391-1777.
