The hand throttle cable can wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This wear can result in the governor jamming in thedamaged swivel and could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position.
Remedy
Dealers will install a revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel. Also letters will be sent to vehicle owners that have the same vehicles but do not have a ford installed hand throttle advising them that they may require service if they have had an after market hand throttle installed.
As a result of inherent vibration in these engines, the throttle return springs can fracture.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If one of the two return springs fractures while thevehicle IS being driven, a substantial reduction in accelerator pedal effortwould be felt. If the second spring also fractures, the throttle would notreturn to idle position and can result in increased engine speed and thepossibility of loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Remedy
The throttle return control system with the coil torsion spring design will be replaced.
