The risk

High effort or binding conditions cause loss of normalthrottle control or the throttle may not return to idle when the accelerator pedal IS released. If this were to occur while the vehicle IS in motion, a vehicle crash could occur.

The remedy

The dealer will purge the throttle cable of any internally trapped water, if it IS present.
