What NHTSA recorded

The sealant used on rough aluminum governor housing of certain fuel injection pumps could penetrate through the bushing when the engine temperature gets up to operating temperature and gets between the throttle shaft and bushings cause the shaft to bind. Consequence of defect: if the shaft binds in the bushing and prevent the throttle shaft from returning to low idle position when accelerator is released, it may cause loss of vehicle control which could result in a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Replace throttle shaft bushings in the governor housing.
