What NHTSA recorded
The throttle return springs can fail.
Possible consequence
If both springs fail, the engine is not likely to return to idle when the accelerator is released, causing loss of vehicle speed control and suddenly increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Remedy
Replacement throttle return springs will be mailed directly to owners. If the owners prefer, their dealers can install the springs for them.
