What NHTSA recorded

Excessive accelerator cable friction may restrict the cables free movement between the accelerator pedal and the throttle body.

Possible consequence

This could prevent throttle from returning to closed(idle) position when accelerator pedal is released; thus, engine speed wouldnot decrease, and loss of accelerator control could result in an accident.

Remedy

Replace accelerator cable.
