What NHTSA recorded

The wire end of the hand throttle cable passes through a split plastic grommet in the accelerator rod. This wire can work through the slot in the grommet and become lodged between the grommet and the edge of the hole in the accelerator rod.

Possible consequence

If the throttle wire becomes lodged, the accelerator can stick and not return to idle position potentially affecting the operator's ability to control the vehicle and increasing the potential for an accident.

Remedy

Dealers will repair buses by installing a new cable grommet without a slot; install a new cable stop; and readjust the throttle cable.
