Reported Apr 4, 1996379,004 vehicles affectedGENERAL MOTORS CORP.Built May 1, 1995 – Nov 1, 1995
The defect
These vehicles were assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat which could bind the throttle. This does not meet with the maximum return times required by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: the engine speed may not return to idle increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there IS insufficient clearance, cut out a portion of the dash mat to provide proper clearance.
