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

The throttle return springs on the affected vehicles provide less than the required torque, causing a sluggish return of the throttle to the idle position after the accelerator pedal is released. This fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems".

Remedy

New anchor brackets and spring extensions for the throttle return springs, will be installed at corrected locations without charge to owner.
