What NHTSA recorded

The throttle cable which runs from the accelerator to the governor assembly housing may have been kinked during assembly, causing excessive wear of the cable housing inner lining. This could result in either fracture or sticking of the cable.

Possible consequence

If the throttle cable fractures, engine speed will returnto idle. If the cable jams or sticks, the engine will remain at the speed atwhich it was running when the jamming occurred. A stuck throttle could result inloss of control and an accident.

Remedy

Replace the governor assemblies, which include the throttle cable.
