These vehicles may have been manufactured with an incorrect end clamp on the hand throttle actuating cable. Under certain conditions, pertaining to the clamp-to-throttle cable orientation and distances of the cable to governor shaft, the throttle cable end clamp may interfere with the outboard accelerator.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
The dealer will inspect hand throttle clamp for interference and, if necessary, replace these clamps free of charge.
The involved vehicles were assembled with the left front brake tube retaining clip missing. The absence of a retaining clip may allow the brake tube to rub against the shock absorber, causing wear on the tube and, eventually, loss of brake fluid.
Risk and remedy
Remedy
Missing brake tube clips will be installed and any chafed brake tubes will be replaced.
