What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". The two accelerator return springs located on top of engine may oscillate at high engine speeds, which may cause vibration noise and lead to premature spring fatigue and possible breakage. This may make it impossible for the accelerator system to return to idle speed.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install rubber sleeves over the return springs to preclude oscillation, without charge to owner.
