What NHTSA recorded

Inner and outer carburetor throttle return springs may have been misinstalled, possibly resulting in spring failure. This can prevent the throttle from returning to a closed position when the accelerator pedal is released.

Remedy

Both throttle return springs will be replaced and properly installed without charge.
