What the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration knows about this vehicle: every recall, every consumer complaint, every defect investigation, every NCAP crash test. Sourced directly from NHTSA data feeds.
THE FOOT TREADLE ACCELERATOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A RETURN SPRING WHICH SERVES AS A BACKUP DEVICE FOR THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING MOUNTED ON THE ENGINE; SHOULD BOTH SPRINGS FAIL SIMULTANEOUSLY THE ENGINE THROTTLE COULD BECOME STUCK OPEN.
RiskTHE THROTTLE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN FOOT PRESSURE ISREMOVED FROM THE TREADLE; THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO LOSS OF SPEED CONTROLAND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT.
FixREPLACE THE TREADLE RETURN SPRING WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED SPRING.
THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY RETURN THE THROTTLE LEVER TO THE IDLE POSTION IN THE EVENT THAT THE LINKAGE BECOMES DISCONNECTED.
RiskTHIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF ACCELERATOR CONTROL IF THE THROTTLE LINKAGE FAILS IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
FixINSTALL AN IMPROVED THROTTLE RETURN KIT.
