The defect

Increased friction experienced in operation or servicing of the system may result in a total friction level exceeding the force capability of the throttle return springs. This may prevent the throttle from returning properly to a closed position when the accelerator pedal IS released.

The remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install return springs which will perform correctly, at no charge to owner.
