What was wrong

THE DETROIT DIESEL ALLISON ENGINES 6V-92 AND 8V-92 WERE EQUIPPED WITH FAST IDLE AIR CYLINDERS, WHICH WERE IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED UNITS COULD CAUSE THE FAST IDLE AIR CYLINDER ASSEMBLY TO BEND OR BREAK. THIS WOULD CAUSE ERRATIC ENGINE SPEED OR INABILITY TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
