Affects Volvo 800 Series, 900 Series · 1996–1997 — about 691 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain Volvo 854, 855, 964 and 965, the screws which attach the throttle plate to its axle (shaft) could, in time, come loose resulting in a loose throttle plate. A loose throttle plate may come into contact with the throttle housing, which may thereby prevent the throttle from returning to the idle position. Correction: throttle housing will be replaced on affected vehicles.
