The hazard

On certain golf cars, personal transportation, and specialty vehicles, the accelerator pedal return spring may break. If this happens, the accelerator would not return to the home position when released, so the vehicle may not slow without use of the brakes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the accelerator pedal spring with a new stronger type.
