What NHTSA recorded

Under certain tolerance conditions, the accelerator rod may come into contact with the accelerator return spring bracket, creating the possibility of a momentary delay in the return of the accelerator linkage to the idle position. This condition is more likely to occur at 3/4 throttle because clearance between the accelerator rod and bracket is at a minimum at this point.

Remedy

Dealer will install a new accelerator return spring bracket without charge to owner.
