Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

On certain buses equipped with electronic throttle control/accelerator pedals supplied by williams controls industries, the weld attaching the clevis to the plate has insufficient penetration and could allow the clevis to separate from the plate.

Possible consequence

If the clevis separated from the plate while the vehicle was in use, the vehicle would return to idle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace these pedals. Owner notification began during december 2001. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact williams control at 1-503-684-8600 or neoplan at 1-719-336-3256.
