What NHTSA recorded

The dust tube portion of the accelerator cable assembly on the involved vehicles may bind due to improper crimping of the cable assembly during manufacture. As a result, the return rate of the throttle may be slowed or the throttle may be prevented from closing properly. In this condition, a vehicle speed of 30 t0 40 mph could be maintained without depressing the accelerator pedal.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if neccessary, will replace the accelerator cable assembly, without charge to owner.
