What NHTSA recorded

The transmission throttle control rod spring may have been improperly installed. This may cause the throttle to close more slowly than normal. Vehicles may return to idle slowly.

Remedy

Each end of the spring will be inspected and relocated, if necessary, to ensure correct positioning.
