The hazard
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT CAN CORRODE INSIDE THE BUSHING THROUGH WHICH IT PASSES THEREBY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE ROTATING SHAFT AND THE STATIONARY BUSHING. THIS CAN CAUSE THE THROTTLE TO BIND AND NOT FULLY RETURN TO IDLE WHEN THE OPERATOR'S FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
