The defect

Some of the involved vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". The accelerator cross shaft support bracket was improperly installed in a reversed end for end position in these cases. This could cause a slight bend in the accelerator linkage, resulting in a delay in the return of the throttle to the idle position.

The remedy

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, reinstall the accelerator cross shaft support bracket correctly, without charge to owner.
