What NHTSA recorded

Engine movement can be transmitted to the airflow meter/filter housing and support bracket, which is mounted in the engine air duct, causing the throttle cable housing to pull out of the cable guide. This may prevent the throttle from returning to the idle position when the gas pedal is released.

Possible consequence

If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, loss of throttle control could result in an accident.

Remedy

Nissan will reposition the throttle cable housing in the support bracket to provide additional slack for engine movement. A rubber stopper will be clamped to the cable to maintain the correct position for the cable at the support bracket. In addition, the throttle cable will be tested for pull out resistance from the guide in the event the cable was damaged. The throttle assembly will be replaced, if necessary.
